ADOPTED DOWN SOUTH 05-05-14

Ringo was abandoned by some unkind soul and was found living in a culvert in freezing temperatures. He is only about 15 weeks old and he has had a rough life so far. Despite all of this, Ringo is still the most loving puppy you will ever meet. He loves all people, dogs, cats and even chickens. He just wants to be friends with everyone. He is a very smart boy too! He loves to play with toys, especially tennis balls. Ringo doesn't mind being crated and is usually quiet. He is catching on quickly to house training and is a generally clean puppy. He only barks when he has a good reason or wants attention. He weighs about 20 lbs. now but is growing fast and will likely be a large dog at maturity.

When BMC dogs are with children, they have a tendency to diminish their playfulness and become gentler and protective. They get along well with children are well known for their sweet and gentle approach to small children. Previous adopters rave about how great they are with their family.

Ringo is very happy and outgoing. He loves to play with his human and animal friends. He likes to play with toys and he also enjoys cuddling on the couch. He is up for any game and he is very smart. Ringo is a very tough little guy and is completely healthy.

Ringo is an active puppy and he needs daily exercise. This can be in the form of playing fetch, chase or just going for a walk. He is content to just hang out once he uses up a little of his puppy energy. He likes other dogs of all sizes. He wants everyone to be his friend. He is even friendly with his foster mom's chickens.

Ringo likes cats and wants them to play with them even if they don't want to. He is great with very dog-tolerant cats but a less tolerant cat might find him annoying. He has not food issues and loves food. When he is in the car he likes to nap in his crate during rides. He is crated at night and he does not potty in the crate. He will whine a little when you first put him in the crate but he soon settles down and doesn't cry during the night. House training is going well, he is a very smart, likewise, he is not a big fan of the leash but he catches on quickly. He is afraid of loud cars going by. I think this is due to him living on the street. Other than that, he seems to be pretty fearless. He is a very brave, inquisitive puppy.

The perfect home would be a moderately active person or family who is willing to spend time playing with him and training him. Ringo would do best in an indoor home with a fenced yard but a fence is not necessary as long as you can meet the energy level of a puppy. He loves other animals so he would do best in a home with other dogs or with someone who is willing to take him to play with other dogs.

About Our Rescue

These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.

Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!

Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well

If you have the time and love to offer this extremely bright dog who can make you laugh for hours at his antics, PLEASE APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RESCUE DOG VILLAGE DOG AND GIVE ONE A HOME. Our dogs deserve all that a committed family can offer. Make no mistake about it, this is one spectacular dog!

Please contact RescueDogVillage@yahoo.com and we will be happy to return your correspondence, but please submit the application now so we can have that information as a starting base for our dialogue.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING RESCUE AS A MEANS OF WELCOMING YOUR NEXT FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND INTO YOUR LIFE!
