Both came to us from Bahrain. Ringo is a sweetheart. He is quite timid at first, but a love once he is comfortable. He will need a quieter home with someone who can gently guide him in the ways of the world and help him blossom. Ringo will need a home without cats or small dogs. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard.Ringo moved to a foster home in December and is doing fabulously! Here are some updates from his foster mom:- Ringo is fully house-trained at this point. He isn't scared to go out in our yard and will sometimes be out there on his own. We haven't had any accidents in the house for several weeks. He seems to enjoy going for walks with his foster sisters. We haven't had any trouble getting him into his harness and he now gets excited to put it on because he knows we are going for a walk. He is still afraid of cars, although it seems to be improving somewhat. He also seems to be afraid of the larger mailboxes (the tower-type that have multiple mailboxes in them), as he takes a wide berth around them. He has a very strong startle reflex and when he gets startled on a walk, he sits down wherever he is. But it doesn't take much encouragement to get him going again, especially when he sees his sisters walking ahead:) He does go potty on walks as well. He is strong for such a little guy, so he will need someone who is strong enough to make sure they don't lose him if he tries to bolt when startled. When he sees other dogs on walks, he often barks at them but seems like he wants to play with them rather than being scared of them. He is fine with stairs, both indoor and outdoor. Ringo sleeps through the night and has done so pretty much from the beginning. On the energy front, he is an energetic little guy and seems to need daily exercise, either in the yard or on walks. He does seem to like chews to get out some of that energy if it is pouring down rain. He loves to play with his sisters in the yard. They regularly chase each other around and he seems to like it. Prey drive wise, he does have a moderately strong prey drive. He will go after rabbits, squirrels, etc. on walks. He absolutely LOVES toys. He really likes squeaky ones and likes to carry them around the house. And he loves to take all the toys out of the basket and scatter them around the house. He will need VERY durable toys because he also likes to tear apart the ones that aren't durable. He will tear apart and pull the stuffing out of plain stuffed toys. He has no problems with eating and enjoys treats. He has his own bowl stand and knows that one is his. Ringo has free run of his foster home. He seems to really like being out and about and likes to snuggle with his sisters or his foster parents on the couch. In fact, he really is a HUGE snuggle bug. He seems to take comfort in snuggling. He has been loose in the house (uncrated) with his foster sisters for up to 5 hours without any problems. Ringo would really benefit from another dog in his home as he really enjoys being with his foster sisters, and being around a more confident dog. He does still have fear of unfamiliar things so it would probably be helpful to have a forever family that has the patience to help him feel secure in his new environment. He doesn't like strangers and often barks at people walking by the front of his foster home. Ringo does not like loud noises, but some meds have helped him in situations like neighborhood fireworks. His foster family says he is such a sweet little guy and we really want to make sure he finds a good match for his forever family??
