Pongo is a super sweet shepsky who is about a year old. He is an incredibly adorable and loving pup with a beautiful disposition. Pongo is very friendly, well-mannered, and enjoys being around people. He is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. Please send an application to adopt via savesomesouls.com and we usually get back to you within 24 hours. The wonderful thing about Pongo is that he listens! As soon as you tell him “no” or ask him to settle, he immediately stops and responds well to guidance. Pongo would do great in a home that will continue his basic training, give him love, structure, and playtime, and include him as part of the family. He has so much love to give and will make a loyal, fun, and affectionate companion. A second dog is really going to help with his puppy energy. He loves to play. He is also very athletic and agile. Someone active will find the best partner and companion in him. Pongo is great with dogs, he is fine with cats and lives around both, as well as with many farm animals. He loves people and trusts them fully. He was rescued from a high kill shelter of Texas where he was a staff favorite. Pongo is about 50 lb, neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention. He is currently being fostered in Texas but can be transported to most states, and even Canada for the right home. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and friendly young dog to add joy to your life, Pongo might be your perfect match 🐾💙 Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. To meet this amazing pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com Pongo's adoption fee of $500 includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, and Harness. Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them. Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued our high kill shelter, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.
