Story
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
To learn more about Kai, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Kai is a bright, energetic little pup who is already learning all her basics. She’s working on sit, stay, and down, and she learns quickly—especially when treats are involved. Like any young puppy, she’s still mastering potty training, but she’s doing great with both the puppy pad and going outside. Every time she uses the pad or potties on her walks, she gets a treat and lots of praise. Kai has a playful spirit and loves to bounce around with her toys. She isn’t a big barker, but she’ll happily bark at her brother when she wants to start a game. She’s affectionate, loves attention, and will thrive in a home that gives her consistency and structure as she grows.

Story
To learn more about Avery, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Avery is the calmer of the two, a sweet, gentle pup who loves his naps. He’s also doing well with potty training—going both outside and on the puppy pad—and he knows there’s a yummy treat waiting for him when he gets it right. He’s learning the same commands as his sister: sit, stay, and down, and he’s making steady progress. While Avery is quiet and relaxed indoors, he recently started giving a little bark at strangers when they’re outside the yard—he’s finding his voice, but in a thoughtful, gentle way. He’s affectionate, smart, and enjoys playtime, even if he’s not quite as energetic as his sister.
