Pongo - Labrador Retriever and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Cambridge, Ontario

ONE YEAR IN RESCUE IS FAR TOO LONG

Today, were reducing Pongos adoption fee to just $99 in hopes of finally finding the forever family he deserves.

Pongo arrived as a puppy, and somehow he has now spent an entire year growing up in rescue instead of in a home of his own. Watching a puppy spend his first year waiting is heartbreaking, and with his foster family heading away for the summer, were hoping now is finally Pongos time.

IMPORTANT

A reduced adoption fee does NOT mean reduced standards. Pongos forever family is still out there, and we wont settle for anything less than the perfect fit. We carefully screen every application, and Pongo will continue to receive the same thoughtful placement process as every dog in our care.

Meet Pongo

At just over a year old and around 50 lbs, Pongo is packed full of personality, intelligence, and love. We were told he may be a Border Collie/Lab mix, but honestly, your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is that hes 100% adorable.

Pongo can be a little nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, but he has worked incredibly hard to build his confidence. He even spent several weeks training with Style K9 Dog Training, where he learned valuable skills that have helped him thrive.

His future family will receive follow-up training sessions (already included in his adoption fee!) because we want to set him up for lifelong success.

Pongos Highlights

Walks beautifully on leash and sits politely at stops
Crate trained and fully housebroken
Professional-level cuddler who always wants to be near his people
Smart, playful, food motivated, and eager to learn
Great with dogs
Good with cats
Happy as an only dog or with canine companions

Because of his sensitive nature, Pongo would do best with older, dog-savvy children who can help him continue building confidence at his own pace.

His dream home? A family who understands him, a yard to zoom around in, squirrels to supervise, and people who will love him for the amazing dog he is.

To help him settle in, Pongo will even come with his special place bed included. We want to give him every opportunity to succeed.

Pongo has waited long enough.

He is sweet. He is loyal. He is ready.

Now all he needs is someone willing to give him the chance hes been waiting a year for.

Could that someone be you?

He is currently located in East Garafraxa.
