PONGO - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. This adorable boy is Pongo and I bet by looking at him, you can guess where his name came from, especially with those freckled ears! Pongo was an unwanted stray in Prichard, Alabama. An Amazing Rescuer was there to pick up another dog but when Pongo saw her leave with the dog, he began running after her! She was worried Pongo would end up on the nearby busy highway, so she stopped and took him in. We believe Pongo is a Lab mix who was born around 9/7/19 and currently weighs 60 pounds. Since he's a medium sized dog, we like to recommend a home with a fenced backyard to keep an active dog like this happy. If you are active and have plans for him to get daily exercise and socialization, not having a fence is not a disqualifier. Pongo is great with other dogs, okay with cats, and absolutely adores kids. Pongo is so sweet and gentle and would make a terrific family pet. Due to his past neglect, he does have heartworms, which isn't a surprise, but we are treating him with slowkill medication and that's included in his adoption fee. We have also seen resource guarding with toys and food which shows he knows hunger. If you have another dog, we recommend feeding them separately and only supervised time with toys. Pongo loves to cuddle and chase balls. He has already bonded with his Amazing Foster and she says he follows her all over the backyard without a leash and prefers to stay right by her side.
