Bongo and brother Bingo would appreciate your shares. They've been at the shelter waiting for their forever family for a long while. Thank you for sharing!

🐾 Meet Bongo – The Gentle Soul
At 9 months old and 51 lbs, Bongo is a sweet, gentle boy who’s still learning the world is a safe place. 💛

He leans on his brother Bingo for comfort, becoming shy and uncertain when alone. But when they’re together, Bongo blossoms into a playful, happy pup, full of tail wags and joy.

✅ Heartworm negative
✅ Doing well in the shelter, but would truly thrive with love and patience

Bongo would do best with someone who understands his tender heart — and he’d love a home with his brother or another confident dog to show him the way.

🐾 Meet Bingo – The Confident Brother!
At just 9 months old and 49 lbs, Bingo is a handsome, happy boy who loves life and greets every new experience with a wagging tail. 💙

Bingo is the more confident of this bonded pair. He’s playful, outgoing, and enjoys every bit of attention he can get. His cheerful spirit helps his brother feel safe, too — Bingo’s the kind of dog who could bring sunshine to any home.

✅ Heartworm negative
✅ Doing great in the shelter while waiting for his forever family

Could you be the lucky one to give Bingo the loving home he deserves?

Our Story

PLEASE DONATE TO HELP THE HOMELESS ANIMALS OF VANCE COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES!

In 2010, over 3700 dogs and cats were impounded at the Vance County shelter, according to the 2010 Public Animal Shelter Report. Of those, 74 percent of the dogs and 93 percent of the cats were euthanized, either by gas chamber or by heart stick. Since RCAPS started working with the Vance County shelter in 2011, thousands dogs and cats have been saved. Now, close to 95 percent dogs and 70% of cats impounded at the shelter are adopted or rescued.

Ruin Creek operates with only a small group of volunteers and is funded almost entirely by donations from concerned animal lovers. We do our best, despite our limited funding, to save every animal impounded at the Vance County animal shelter. Among our other activities, we provide emergency medical care to animals who arrive at the shelter ill or injured, we advocate for the animals and connect them to rescue groups, and we arrange for the testing and health certificates needed to get them to rescue. Every Friday night our Freedom van, loaded by RCAPS volunteers, carries dozens of animals from kill shelters in Vance and surrounding counties to rescues between North Carolina and New York.
