Ringo 3

Animal ID: 32126

Age: 2y

Gender: Male

Breed: Shepherd mix

Weight: 40

Personality: Ringo is a shy boy and needs time to feel comfortable in a new environment, but once he feels safe, he is very sweet with his human friends and loves to get pets! He even does a silly little happy dance to greet his humans! He's currently low energy and is happy with some yard time, pets, and hanging in his crate with some chews or a Kong. He does not have any separation anxiety and would be fine with someone who works outside the home.

Friendliness: Dogs: Yes Cats: Unknown Kids: Tweens 9-17

Education: Bathroom and crate trained. He is still too timid to walk on the leash, but he is getting braver with time.

Favorite Activities: Ringo loves hanging around his dog friends and getting lots of pets from his humans. He also loves chewing and getting meat treats and enjoys hanging in his crate with a chew or a soft toy.

Looking For: Ringo is still timid and not going on walks, so he needs a fenced yard for bathroom trips; it doesn't need to be very big! He would do best in a quieter home with people who will be patient while he gains confidence. He takes cues from other dogs and would do best with a dog friend (or 5!) to help him dog. He does just fine solo during the day and is happy to nap while his humans are out of the house, so he will be fine with someone who works outside the home. He'd do great with older kids that give him space and aren't too noisy.

Description

Ringo

Hi there! I’m a two-year-old neutered Shepherd mix, weighing about 40 pounds—and I’m ready to find my forever family!

I’m a proud survivor from ESLR and have come such a long way already. I’m fully potty-trained and crate-trained (my crate is actually my favorite cozy spot!). I’m still working on feeling brave enough for walks, so for now, I’d love a home with a secure yard where I can stretch my legs and take care of business.

I’m a shy guy at first, but once I feel safe, I turn into a total sweetheart with a touch of silliness. I love getting gentle pets and scratches, and I even do a little happy dance when I see my favorite humans! I enjoy hanging out with doggie friends and would really thrive with another calm, confident pup to show me the ropes. I also do great just chilling solo while you’re at work – I’m low energy and happy with some outside time, a comfy crate, and a tasty chew or Kong.

I don’t have separation anxiety and I’m pretty easygoing overall. A quieter home would be perfect for me – especially one that understands that I need a little time to build trust. I’d probably do well with older kids who are respectful and give me space to come out of my shell.

Some of my favorite things? Pets, soft toys, tasty meat treats, chewing, and just quietly hanging with my people and dog buddies.

If you’re looking for a gentle, low-maintenance pup with a heart full of love and the cutest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen – I might just be your guy. With a little patience and a lot of love, I promise I’ll be the sweetest addition to your home! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/. You can also find me on Instagram at @Barley.arley.

Ringo’s ride to freedom has been graciously sponsored by Susan Maples!
