My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ringo joins LR by way of an overcrowded shelter. Ringo had no chance of being adopted with an injured rear leg. He was red listed after his stray hold was up. The shelter reached out to us for help and we stepped up to help him. He was quiet on the card ride to vet. He crated easy. You can tell he was uncomfortable and nervous. His leg was bothering him. While at the Vet, we took a moment to give him some love. Ringo placed his head in our hands and soaked up the love. We don't know much about him yet. We are taking care of his medical needs first. Update-Ringo has received his medical clearance and is now ready to be adopted. We have learned a lot about Ringo since his last update. He is a very sweet dog that has some challenges from his previous life. Ringo is slow to trust people and in general is wary of them. He has made significant progress but needs continued reinforcement from his people and needs to learn that he can trust them. He needs a family that is relatively quiet. Loud noises, unexpected noises, or just excessive activity cause him some distress. For this reason, a family with no children is preferred. Ringo seems to do slightly better with women than with men. Ideally his family should have minimal alone time and a retired or stay-at-home individual would be a big plus. Ringo needs a family that has a lot of experience with dogs and is familiar with training. He gets along great with other dogs. His new family should also have one or more dogs that can provide Ringo with 1) companionship (when Ringo is feeling overwhelmed he will seek out one of our other dogs to lie down with), 2) mentoring (Ringo is always looking to our dogs for cues on behavior), and 3) playtime (Ringo is always trying to engage our dogs in play). Ringo has many other great qualities that clearly indicate he's going to be a fantastic dog for some lucky family. He just needs somebody to invest in him.
