My story

🐾 I’m the Strong, Serious Typeā€¦šŸ¾ …until my favorite volunteer buddy shows up with my favorite stuffed toy! šŸ˜‚ Hello! I’m Ringo. I’m a lovable, sweet, affectionate and goofy Pit Bull Terrier mix boy. I’m around 2 years old and tip the scales at a sturdy 68 lbs. You’re probably thinking, ā€œHmm, this guy looks tough…maybe not the friendliest pup here!ā€ Well, you couldn’t be more wrong! I’m one of those doggos…brawny on the outside, but softer than jerky treats on the inside. Think cross between Dwayne Johnson in ā€˜The Tooth Fairy’ and Chris Hemsworth in ā€˜Thor.’ šŸ˜Ž When we meet, I might seem a bit stand-offish, but please give me a little time to warm up to you. I’m not one of those overly eager doggos who’ll rush up to a stranger and declare my everlasting love—I’ve got more class than that! šŸ™„But once I spend some quality time with you and get to know you, I’m ALL YOURS! 🄰 I really enjoy going on sniffaris! Whether I’m on a walk or hanging out in the yard, I’ll spend a lot of time nose down, reading and leaving pee-mails and keeping up with all the scent-sational news. šŸ“¢ I ADORE stuffie toys — you’ll often catch me bunny-hopping around the yard with a stuffie in my mouth, giving it a good shake! It’s my kinda work-play balance, staying fit and having a paw-ty all at once. šŸ’ŖšŸ„³ But nothing beats hanging out with my volunteer buddies! When I spot them, I’m off like a rocket—showering them with kisses, butt wiggles, and stealing their hearts all over again! 😘 I’ve got brains to match my brawn too! I know how to ā€œSitā€ when asked to and am learning how to go ā€œDown.ā€ šŸ† I can be a little picky with treats, but when I do take them from your hand, I’m very gentle. 🐶I may, at times, get a bit excited about all the scents and pull on the leash during my walkies, but a short pause or a quick U-turn helps me hit the reset button. When it comes to fellow doggos, I'll admit, I have high standards. My, er, inner drama king might make an appearance if I’m not a fan of a doggo strolling by or hanging out in the next yard. I do tend to be more of a gentleman with the ladies, though. šŸ˜ If you’ve got a pup at home, let’s do a supervised, on-leash meet-and-greet to see if we can make a paw-fect match! I’m waiting for savvy paw-rents with large breed doggo experience who can see past my tough guy act, love and cherish me for who I am and provide me with the consistent training I need to be the good doggo I’m meant to be. šŸ™‚ ## See video of Ringo at the end of the photo gallery! ## TVAR.org/find-your-pet-adopt/dogs-puppies/ Ringo’s Shelter ID# is 85132. He’s an approximately 2-year-old, black and white, Pit Bull mix. He currently weighs 68 lbs. He is already vaccinated and will be microchipped and neutered before going to his new home. Ringo is located in kennel B-1. His adoption fee is $35, plus licensing (if applicable). The cost of his neuter surgery will be sponsored! ** Age shown is an estimate only ** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING If you are interested, please call the East County Animal Shelter at 925-803-7040 to see if this dog is still available.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ringo - ECAS, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
