Story
WILL PAY $50 TOWARDS FIRST VET BILL!!!! He is an adult dog, likely around five or six years old, with a sweet and gentle temperament. Ringo adores people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a calm, loving presence that makes him the perfect companion. Ringo has some old injuries to his ears, leaving them cauliflowered on both sides. While they do not seem to bother him, they give him a rugged charm that only adds to his character. He is in seemingly good health otherwise, with a sturdy build and a soft coat. He just waiting for someone to scratch behind his ears. The only quirk we have noticed is that he has mild food aggression, but only towards other dogs. With people, he is nothing but gentle. He just prefers to eat in peace without sharing his bowl. He will need an immediate vet visit upon adoption.
