About Pong Lonestar

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Meet Pong Lonestar, a charismatic 1.5-year-old pup weighing in at 32 lbs. He is a happy, playful, and slightly sassy boy looking for a devoted family to call his own! Pong may benefit from a bit more confidence-building and some training, but he promises abundant joy and companionship in return. Pong is both house-trained and crate-trained, settling in quickly and making himself a beloved member of his foster home. While he appreciates a gentle, patient approach with new people, he has become fast friends with his foster family and their furry companions. He enjoys life’s comforts like treats, toys, and tasty snacks. Especially treat-motivated, Pong loves toys filled with goodies and already knows “sit” and is catching on to “paw.” Walks are a highlight, particularly alongside his foster pup sibling, and he delights in chasing games around both the house and yard. If you toss him some toys or treats, Pong will happily chill in his crate and entertain himself. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to brighten your days.
