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!

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.

Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Meet Lilly Allen, a super-sweet, gentle soul who’s still finding her footing but has so much love to give. This Australian Cattle Dog mix made her way to us in northern Virginia through no fault of her own, and despite such a big change, Lilly has remained a true sweetheart and an absolute cutie-patootie. Lilly is calm and polite in her kennel, easy to harness, and a joy to walk. She gently greets other friendly dogs she meets on walks and plays well with canine pals who share her calm approach. Outside, Lilly can be a little timid at times and feels most comfortable on quieter paths, where she can relax, enjoy a good sniff, and take in the world at her own pace. A smart girl who’s eager to please, Lilly already knows “sit,” is a quick learner, and is easily trainable — especially when treats and praise are involved. She takes treats gently and lives for pets and attention. At home, Lilly is a big baby who loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with her people. With reassurance, patience, and lots of affection, Lilly Allen is ready to blossom into a loving and devoted companion.
