About Pongo OH

Pongo has truly mastered how to enjoy life. This laid-back terrier mix loves leisurely walks, affection from his people, and lounging in a secure yard, happily watching the world go by. At five years old, he’s often seen following his humans from room to room, curious about what they are up to. He came into rescue after being shot and losing a leg, yet this hasn’t slowed him down. As a tripod, Pongo still loves walks and everyday adventures. Weighing about 35 pounds, he needs an owner who will help him maintain a healthy weight and provide regular exercise to keep him active and enjoying life for many years. Pongo shares his foster home nicely with other dogs, but doesn’t rely on them for companionship; he could comfortably be your only dog or coexist with a canine buddy. He’s quite independent and can entertain himself when you’re away, making him a great fit for a working household, especially if there’s a secure yard for him to roam. If you are looking for a rescue dog who embodies the easier, more relaxed nature of an adult dog, Pongo is a wonderful choice. His simple wish is for a loving home that will help him stay healthy. He’s ready for his forever home and available for transport to the Columbus, OH area.
