About Ringo

Adoption Fee: $295
Poodle mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Ringo is a 5-6 y.o., 22 lb. neutered Poodle mix. Foster Location: South suburbs of Chicago. No out of the area applications, please. ***** Caveats: ***** RINGO IS FEARFUL OF STRANGERS WHO APPROACH HIM & HAS A BITE HISTORY. HE HAS A SPECIAL ADOPTION PROCESS ***** ***** RINGO HAS FOOD & ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES. RINGO IS ON A VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION DIET & WILL HAVE TO RECEIVE MONTHLY INJECTIONS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE ***** Because of his fear of strangers & bite history, in consultation with a certified behaviorist, we have set up an unusual adoption procedure. Any interested adopter will need to meet Ringo 2 or 3 times at his foster home in Steger, IL before Ringo & his foster would do a home check before completing the adoption. It's a slow process. We want Ringo to become as comfortable with an adopter as he learned to be with his foster & for everyone to be safe. Ringo is fearful when people approach him. This has led him to use his mouth, bites which in his mind are defensive, not attacks (one & done). Ringo is a fun little guy and full of personality once he gets to know & trust you. Ringo does love his foster grandpa. That sort of trust takes some time to develop. He loves to run and play with or without a playmate, though he might prefer having a doggy pal to play with. He does, however, have a happy, but persistent play style which can overwhelm some dogs. Give him a secure fenced yard to patrol and he's in heaven, so an apartment or condo just won't do. Ringo loves to explore while on walks and enjoys riding shotgun in the car. He sounds like the perfect pup, right? Just like we humans, Ringo has some faults, too, so let's talk about them. Ringo, given the slightest opportunity, shows his talent as an escape artist. He just gets overexcited about the outside world & wants to experience it. Again, Ringo needs a secure fenced yard. He is also a vocal guard of his area. And, of course, Ringo does have a bite history. Ringo needs a patient family without children or cats in which he can thrive.
