Ringo Starr is an 8-year-old Boston Terrier in Sacramento, CA, who needs $1,567 for surgical growth/cyst surgery.

Ringo Starr was born to a litter of four puppies, named after the Beatles. You could say he was like a star in our eyes. Eight years later he still is. Plus, his parents were star-like themselves with famous monikers of Marilyn Monroe and Robert de Niro. My sister sent him from the East Coast because she thought he would be a great companion to my young niece who lived with me at the time She had to move away and couldn't take him with her. So Ringo has continued to live with me with occasional visits with my niece. He's become my companion and now to my elderly parents as well. He brings joy, plenty of laughs and purpose to our lives. He's very much a part of the family.
