About Pongo TX

Pongo is living life to the fullest with a relaxed approach that includes leisurely walks, plenty of affection, and lazy days spent in a fenced yard watching the world go by. At five years old, this charming terrier mix weighs about 35 pounds and enjoys being a part of your daily routine, often following you room to room to stay in the loop. After being shot and losing a leg, Pongo has proven that being a tripod doesn’t hold him back. He still loves walks and everyday adventures. It’s important for his new family to help him maintain a healthy weight and ensure regular exercise to protect his remaining limbs and keep him enjoying life for years to come. Pongo shares his foster home with other dogs comfortably, though he’s independent and doesn’t rely on them for social interaction. He’d be happy in a home with another dog or as your only pet. Pongo is also great at entertaining himself when left alone, making him a good fit for working households with a secure yard. If you’re looking for a gentle and low-maintenance companion, Pongo is a memorable option. He seeks just a simple request: help him stay healthy and enjoy life by your side. Pongo is available for adoption throughout Texas through Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue's Austin-area hub. They facilitate meet-and-greets for interested adopters from across the state.
