Animal ID: 34130

Age: 5y

Gender: Male

Breed: American pit bull terrier / Catahula leopard dog / American fox hound

Weight: 65

Personality: Smart, loyal, energetic and friendly boy who thrives with a consistent routine. Although now he is an only dog in his house, he is open to meeting new friends or joining another dog in his new family with a proper introduction! He is a fast learner who loves learning new things. He is medium energy, loves to play but is mellow most of the day the day. Ringo is a great mix of being an independent and loving and cuddly at the same time. He enjoys spending being in the same room with his people but can also be content with his own space. He knows when it's time to play and when it's time to relax! Ringo doesn't have a separation anxiety; sometimes he whines (very rarely) but settles within 5 minutes. He is very loyal and will always be by your side once you are a part of his pack!

Friendliness: Dogs: Yes Cats: No Kids: Teens 13-17

Education: Ringo is fully potty trained and never had any accidents at home! He is also crate trained. He is usually good walking on the leash, can pull occasionally but responds well to correction. He is not reactive to people on the leash and most of the time not reactive to other dogs; he can pull when he meets reactive dog but is easy to redirect. He is treat motivated and learns new things easily and already knows the 'Place' command well.

Favorite Activities: Going for walks, spending time and cuddling with his people, chilling out while his people work, fetching his ball, playing with other dogs with proper introduction, spending time in the backyard, suckling on his blanket, laying in the sun and lounging around the house. He loves going for walks, hikes, and even runs, and he never says No to a nice long walk!

Looking For: A new loving family that can provide him with a consistent routine and lots of love and cuddles. A relatively active home would be good for Ringo, with at least two walks outside. He would love to have a fenced backyard where he can play fetch. Ringo would do great as an only pet in the house, but he can also be with another dog with proper introduction. He would do really well having a routine with his family so he knows when to go for a walk, play, or relax. He will likely be great with respectful kids that are teens and up.

Special Needs: No special needs. Ringo's current family will fund 10 sessions of training with their current trainer in order to ensure that the transition goes well!
