A LOVABLE dog with a lust for life is in need of a new home.

One-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Ringo loves to sing and would be in his element playing football in the garden with a loving owner, according to Pauline Wilson from the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League.

He is one of the many animals currently being cared for by the team at NASSL, who say Ringo would thrive in the right environment.

Ms Wilson said: “He is a very pleasant dog, with all the lovely characteristics of a Staffy.

“He’s fun-loving, cheeky and would be an endearing pet for anyone who loves the breed.

“Ringo is full of life and would be happiest in a home without other dogs, cats or children under 12.

“He needs an active home, where he can get out and about.”

Anyone interested in adopting Ringo should contact the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League Darlington on 01325 321855 or 07748268822.
