As a fellow dog owner in York Region I was appalled to read Jessica Brandes' story, which you can find here: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-woman-has-her-12-year-old-dog-taken-away-because-he-might-be-part-pit-bull-1.5164966

Ringo is 12 years old. He's a senior citizen with a family who loves him dearly, and thinks of him as a family member. That's a life every dog in a shelter has wished for. 

Vaughan Animal Services states they can't release Ringo if he is part pitbull. He has never had a violent incident, according to the Brandes' family. He lives in a home with children. It's safe to say that at Ringo's age and maturity level he isn't violent. He's been brought up in a loving home and treated with kindness and patience. 

Please help us return Ringo to his family.
