Pongo's Story

***Pongo is in a foster home, so he is not at the kennel. If you are interested in him, please fill out an application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.***<br/><br/>Pongo is the softest boy ever, you can't help but want to pet him all the time! He is estimated to be about 12 years old and weighs 16 pounds. <br/><br/>What a very smart boy and even though he is a senior (12 years young), you'd never know it by looking at his energy. He loves going on multiple walks a day, there is just so much to look at and to smell, Pongo thinks walks are the best. He has been diagnosed with stage 2 renal failure and will need a special diet for the rest of his life, but it doesn't slow him down. He likes to play with his toys and especially his tennis balls. He has very good house manners and sleeps all night. His foster mom has not seen any separation anxiety. He rides in the car very well and has no problem being crated but prefers the door open. At night he sleeps either on one of his beds or in a crate with the door open. Pongo hasn't been around other cats or dogs while with in foster but has seen other wildlife, deer, cranes, and turkeys, and hasn't tried chasing them. His “mom” noticed he is not trusting of men so expect to give him extra time to get to know you. He is used to a quieter, more low-key type of home, so any children need to be at least 13 years old. Pongo would love it if you would like to meet him, he would like be part of a loving family again for his golden years. <br/><br/>If you are interested in Pongo and are at least 21 years old, please fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!<br/><br/>*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
