Ringo - Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle Dog for Adoption in Bothell, Washington

Animal Information: Ringo came to his current caretaker through a contact of his owner who was no longer able to care for him. He was living on a porch day and night. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had much formal training and can be a bit challenging to manage on leash, especially for someone using a wheelchair.

At 3.5 years old and 65 lbs, Ringo is a strong, active dog who can show some leash reactivity due to insecurity and excitement. He would benefit greatly from a foster or adopter who is willing to provide structure, set clear boundaries, and continue working on his training.

Despite these challenges, Ringo has a great temperament. During his evaluation, he showed himself to be a friendly, good-natured dog who simply needs consistency and guidance in his daily life. He currently lives with another dog and has experience living with children ages 5–13.

Ringo is house-trained, comfortable in his crate, and enjoys meeting new people. With the right support, he has great potential to become a well-balanced and happy companion.

Foster Profile:

Ringo is friendly with everyone he meets and has a big, happy personality that makes him a joy to be around. Playful, affectionate, and social, he loves being included in the fun and thrives on companionship.

He’s crate trained and house broken, and he does best with structure and consistency. As a smart, energetic doodle, he’ll need an adopter who’s committed to continuing his training and setting firm, clear boundaries. Without guidance, he can become a bit rambunctious and challenging on leash, but with consistent leadership and exercise, he truly thrives.

Ringo is looking for an active home who has prior dog experience that will provide both love and structure.
