About Apricot Ringo

Apricot Ringo—though his friends call him Alfie—arrived in foster care right around Halloween and has been learning that the world isn't such a scary place. He's a red, three-legged toy poodle weighing only about 5 pounds, and since his rear leg amputation, he's navigated life with surprising spirit. Alfie gains courage from other small dogs and needs a home with another confident pup who can show him the ropes. It takes time and plenty of treats for Alfie to build trust with people, but when he feels safe, he'll happily curl up for cuddles and delight you with his quirky little noises. Alfie is escape-prone—a true Houdini—so his adopter must have secure, solid wooden fencing, as he's known to outsmart baby gates and climb or slip through anything less. He loves time in the yard, zooming around and sunbathing when he's done. Walks are still intimidating, but he's food-motivated and eager to learn new tricks. If you're ready to earn his trust, prepare yourself for a sweet little shadow. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
