Hi there! My name is Ringo, but some people call me "Punky" as a nickname. I had a lousy life when I was young and I ended up at animal control. That is when I met the nice folks at Baypath and my whole life changed. They put me into a great foster home and now my life is great!! I wake up, cuddle with my foster dad and mom, eat and then play out in the yard with my favorite ball or I go for a nice long walk, which I love! I have learned so much since I came here! I'm very well trained. I walk great on a leash too! I am very smart and I'm just bursting with personality. I really LOVE routine…
