Austin Dog Rescue is made up purely of volunteers. Each dog is sheltered within a home in the Austin area. As such, there is no physical shelter to visit the dog at. If you think you may be interested in a particular dog now or in the future, please fill out an application form. People with approved application forms are prioritized over people who haven’t yet applied.
Pongo is a happy-go-lucky puppy that enjoys everyone he meets. He loves other dogs, toys, and all humans.
Pongo was saved from a rural Central Texas shelter where he was at risk for euthanasia because of an injury. Pongo's hip was broken, but he doesn't let that get him down -- he loves to romp and play! His hip will be surgically repaired later this month, and then he'll be ready to find his forever family.
Pongo's ideal family will provide continued socialization and structure to help him thrive as he grows. He would think it was very cool if he also had a dog friend to play with in his new home.
He hopes to meet you soon!
UPDATE: Pongo aced his first physical therapy appointment after FHO surgery! The video is below.
