This 5-year-old German Shepherd mix is a lovable goofball who just wants to be part of the fun. Ringo loves stuffed animals, kiddie pools, and hanging out with his people. When his time was up at the animal shelter, you'd better believe we were there to rescue him! Ringo is dog- and kid-friendly. He loves to play and he's not too much: gentle and respectful. He rides well in the car and knows basic commands--he's a people-pleaser! Ringo recently had his hip fixed. His sutures are out and he's recovering well. He can walk and run and be his active happy-dog self. We love this boy so much! Ringo is snipped, chipped, and vaxxed and ready to go home with you. He will be a special guest at the Best Friends Super Adoption event at the Rose Bowl on November 21-22. Come meet this special boy and you'll love him as much as we do!
🧠 Temperament
He loves to play and he's not too much: gentle and respectful. Confident, highly trainable and deeply loyal, bred to work all day alongside a handler.
🎾 Exercise
He can walk and run and be his active happy-dog self. High — 60-90+ minutes daily plus a job to do.
✂️ Grooming
Heavy double-coat shedding year-round with two big blowouts a year. Brush several times a week.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Demanding in an apartment: large, vocal and often reactive to the constant stimulus of a city street. Very doable for an experienced owner, hard for a first-timer.
