Kong's Story

Meet Kong Kong is a 5-year-old, 65-pound Lab/Pit mix with a big body and an even bigger heart. This handsome black-coated guy has a short, low-maintenance coat and a laid-back grooming routine to match his easygoing personality. Kong’s story is one of love and resilience. He was originally adopted from the local shelter and enjoyed a caring home, but when his owner faced medical challenges and could no longer care for him, Kong was returned—through absolutely no fault of his own. Now, he’s ready for his next chapter with a forever family. Described best as a gentle giant, Kong loves meeting new people and quickly wins hearts with his sweet soul. He enjoys walks, car rides, and playtime with his dog friends, but he’s just as happy cuddling on the couch—often acting like a dog-sized weighted blanket. Fair warning: Kong snores and breathes a little loud sometimes, which just adds to his charm! Kong knows basic commands like sit and stay, is crate trained, leash trained, and mostly potty trained with only rare accidents. He responds well to verbal correction (though he may sulk a bit afterward). He loves balls, tug-of-war, and especially meal time. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, but will need a fully fenced yard, as he would happily take off running if given the chance. His ideal home would be somewhat active, with older children who understand larger dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who’s equal parts playful and cuddly, Kong might just be your perfect match. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $150. Please follow the link below for his adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy

Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
