To learn more about Ringo, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. A Day in the Life of Ringo: Play, Cuddles, Repeat! Meet Ringo, an 8-month-old cattle dog mix who’s ready to rock your world! This playful and curious pup is already stealing hearts with his stunning brindled coat, big personality, and endless zest for life. He loves everyone he meets and thrives on adventure. Whether he’s chasing balls, running free in the yard, or showing off his growing list of commands, Ringo’s enthusiasm is contagious. Ringo is very smart—the kind of clever that keeps you laughing and on your toes. He’s eager to please, loves treats (almost as much as his toys!), and is learning quickly what it means to be a well-mannered young gentleman. He’s house-trained, a good car companion, and enjoys relaxing by the door, watching the world go by or napping close to his favorite human. Like any bright, young pup, Ringo needs both physical exercise and mental challenges to keep his tail wagging. He’d do best with an active adopter who enjoys being outdoors and has a fully fenced yard where he can safely zoom to his heart’s content. He’s still growing out of his puppy antics—a bit jumpy, mouthy, and full of energy—but with patience, consistency, and continued training, Ringo will mature into an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re ready to team up with a fun, whip-smart pup who’ll keep you laughing, learning, and moving, come meet Ringo today—he’s ready to join your fab family!

Story
To learn more about Lazy River please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Lazy River is an Australian cattle dog mix-the sweetest one out there ! He’s calm, cuddly and affectionate and so very loving once he gets to know you. Lazy River can be a little shy with strangers but his curiosity soon gets the better of him. Lazy River can be understandably a little anxious in a new environment, but quickly settles in, especially when given a calm place to unwind. Lazy River has a lot of puppy energy to burn off, so he will love all activities and play time. He would do well with a family who can help him learn his leash walking- he’s already well on his way in learning his basic doggie commands such as sit, stay and lay down. Come say hi to Lazy River and maybe you’ll find in him the perfect companion, happy to float along where life takes you both.

Story
I got her 5ish years ago from Lancaster puppies in Pennsylvania. She is a great dog and is very loving and funny. She loves to play with balloons and she loves to watch tv. She is great with any age kids or babies. She has never met a cat so if you have a cat I’m not sure how she will be but she is great with other dogs. She never bit anyone or any animal. She has a big personality. She loves to run and play. We have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant, my husband works 6 days a week almost all day and it’s very hard to make sure she gets the play time she deserves. I love her but she deserves someone who can take her on long walks and play with her and cuddle her. I want her to enjoy the rest of her long life with someone who has the energy. We also live in an apartment and it’s just a bit cramped with our family and the dog. She did nothing wrong I just want the best for her and right now I can’t give that to her. She has nicknames lol ( Lou leena, Lou Lou, klo Lena) she is a beautiful dog
