Meet Ren Ren is a sweet boy who has already experienced far more hardship than any dog should. He and his companion, Stimpy, were found abandoned inside a Bronx apartment after the building’s former superintendent left, leaving the dogs behind with no one to care for them. They were eventually discovered by the new superintendent, who found them in terrible condition. Both dogs were heavily infested with fleas, and they had been left without the basic care they needed. Despite being abandoned and neglected, Ren is now getting the care, attention, and kindness he should have received all along. His past may explain where he came from, but it does not have to determine where he goes next. Ren deserves a safe home, a soft place to sleep, and someone who will make sure he is never forgotten again. We hope his next chapter is the one where he finally gets to be someone's beloved companion. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Ren, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

Mixed Breed

🧠 Temperament

Meet Ren Ren is a sweet boy who has already experienced far more hardship than any dog should. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.

🎾 Exercise

Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.

✂️ Grooming

Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
