About Bingo

Bingo is impossible to miss—he’s a Mastiff/Plott Hound mix with a deep fondness for people, warm sunlight, and naps under blankets. His foster says Bingo wants to be wherever his people are, or stretched out soaking up the sunshine. Always eager for affection, he’s happiest when dozing close by or quietly hoping for a bully stick treat. He’s at ease in the car and reliably house trained, making him a laid-back companion around the home. His story takes a turn: Bingo came into rescue after a gunshot wound to his head. Found as a stray, he managed to greet strangers with tail wags even in intense pain. The bullet passed through his skull and neck but missed all vital organs. After a lengthy recovery, Bingo came through it with a forgiving, gentle nature. He’s learned good manners, basic skills, and loves to show off how cuddly he is. Bingo gets along with dogs he knows but does best with calm, proper introductions and a patient hand guiding his confidence on leash. Less interested in high-octane activities, he prefers sunbathing and curling up with his favorite people. His adoption fee has been sponsored, so he’s just waiting for someone ready to give him a safe, calm home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
