Ringo We are so sorry for not being able to relieve the depth of sorrow you carried with loss of your mum Margaret... you died of a broken heart...truly loved by all Ringo's thread below:
Homing Requirements: Ringo needs a staffie family ..and they will delight in him he has the best attributes of what makes a staffie a treasured breed. Meets dogs nicely outside, instincts to welcome and play, but doesnt like dogs running into him so he wears a muzzle where off lead dogs are. Ringo is more interested in people than dogs. Easily managed on lead. Old scar on his side which isn't a fight scar (tend to be on the head and neck occas. hind legs) poss caught on something- no other scars. Secure garden and exit management like with any terrier eg gates not left open.
His Story: Ringo was found stray in Ireland. It is difficult to home staffies in Ireland due to rented property not allowing Shepherds; Rotties or Bull breeds. After 2 yrs in kennels a rescue approached us and we took him in and gave him his best chance. Ringo is a brindle staffie with charming pointed ears. A friendly, calm and loving character. Neutered, chipped and fully vax'd. Ringo was homed and paired up with Barney but very sadly their owner died and they have become homeless again Sept 17
Advert: Ringo is a handsome staffie who is gentle, kind and dotes on people. Here is part of his report having spent a day out of the kennels "We met a few other dogs around and Ringo was slightly interested but no real problems, and very keen to meet people. He seems to know 'Sit' and happily did it several times for us. He's got a lovely nature and his tail was wagging furiously whenever he ran up to us. In a short time he'd changed from the crazy energetic dog we got out of the kennel into a much more settled companion who enjoyed his walk and loved being around us."
He is a charmer and really has to be met to appreciate how his sharp ears just dont suit his soft character. If you've had a staffie before, Ringo will be top of your list for sure. Yes people appeal and he is clean in his kennel so housetraining shouldnt take long to kick in. Sadly Ringo had difficult beginning but staffies do! Landlord dont want dogs in their houses; family members dont come forwards for a staffie and most rescues would rather not help a staffie. Their loss! Ringo is gentleman to be sure - firm favourite!

hi we are a rescue in the west of ireland (with a no kill policy obviously) i am contacting you in desperation to see if youk can help find a forever home for our ringo. he is about three years old and has been with us for two. He was brought in in a poor state - bitten and scarred but such a loving boy. Typical staffie lick us to death loves playing ball and tug of war. He gets depressed sometimes despite having two walks a day and lots of cuddles. He shows no aggression to the dogs in the kennels beside him although we had an incident not long after he arrived when he caught a lab coming through a narrow gate..just nerves. We have had a couple of staffie bitches very young and he has enjoyed their company but he generally walks alone with us playing ball.
We love him to bits but he has no prospect of ever finding a home here in the west of ireland anyone who has been interested has been the type to want him to back up the hard man image.
having read your website and cried over it many times, i wondered if you could possibly help Ringo. If you could take him for us we would bring him over he is fully vaccinated and wormed and neutered i know it is alot to ask knowing how many you are trying to save from death row as you are a staffie or staffie x rescue he may stand a chance of someone chosing him. I am attaching some pics of him to us he would seem totally staffie but you will be able to tell from his pics I can phone you to have a chat about him if that would help
