Ring Dog Rescue is a rescue group dedicated to the "Bully Breeds". We are a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization and are currently listing adoptable "bullies" from, not only Ring Dog Rescue, but our other rescue friends and those who have opened their door to an orphaned "bully" in private rescue.
We at Ring Dog Rescue all own a "bully" and would like to answer all your questions and help guide you to a happy life for you and your companion, as well as to aid you in finding the perfect one for you.
If there is anything you can't find on the site please contact us with questions at ringdog@ringdogrescue.org. Our mailing address is PO Box 28632, Richmond, VA 23228 and to leave a message in our voicemail, call 804 622-4200.
