About Ringo

Ringo is a 5-year-old neutered male chihuahua mix weighing about 13 lbs. This little dog has a short, white and black coat and prefers sleeping through the night as soundly as any seasoned couch companion.

Ringo isn’t one for long stretches alone; he likes to keep tabs on his people and wants company nearby. He’s food-motivated, loves treats, and is searching for that stable, forever home where he can settle in and stick close to his people. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
