A little about them

Pongo is a high-energy, enthusiastic dog with a big personality who loves staying busy and spending time with his people. He is eager to connect and ready for a patient family to help him channel his energy and big feelings.

Ideal Home

Pongo would do best in an active, patient home that can provide plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment, positive-reinforcement training, and a predictable routine. Because he may become reactive around other dogs, his family should be prepared to manage him safely and work on his reactivity with reward-based training. A home without young children under 5 is recommended because Pongo jumps persistently and can become highly anxious and excited.

Ongoing Health

Pongo is vaccinated. He weighs 37.8 pounds.

Training & Support

Pongo gets very excited about treats and attention and is learning that keeping four paws on the floor earns rewards. Calm, structured interactions and rewarding activities can help him make progress.
