Pongo

Meet Pongo! This playful boy is about 4 months old currently, we estimate he and his 3 siblings were born in late January or early February of 2022. Pongo loves humans and will come up and jump on your legs when you enter into their play area. He currently weighs ~16 pounds. His mom is a small breed dog only weighing in at 24 pounds and is a lowrider with short legs. We are unsure of who their father is, but Pongo, his siblings and mama were rescued from Todos Santos, Mexico when they were only 1 month old. Pongo is a sweet boy, who cannot wait to explore the world and meet his forever family. He will need help with his training skills as he has been living in a shelter with his mama and sisters. Pongo gets along well with other dogs, but can be a little intimidated at first, but quickly comes around, he is tiny in this large world after all! Pongo is ready to start his next adventure with you and give all the puppy kisses.

steps to adopting

Our Vetting policy

  • Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.

  • Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.

OUR REHOMING & RETURN POLICY

  • While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home we ask that you contact us. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care immediately; however, we will work with you to either rehome the animal or move it into one of our foster homes when available.

    **Please note that adoption fees are NON-REFUNDABLE regardless of the amount of time the animal has spent with you. Should you take an animal home prior to signing the adoption contract, it is assumed, by your physical possession of the animal, that you are accepting the terms of said contract.
