🌟 Meet Ranger, a delightful 2-year-old pup weighing in at just 20 lbs, currently in search of his forever home! What a journey this young soul has had — once a frightened boy abandoned by a commercial breeder, he’s come a long way! It warms the heart to know that he now enjoys the loving care of a special foster family who understands his gentle spirit. When Ranger first arrived, he was understandably scared and unsure of the world around him. He had faced things no dog should have to endure, like being neglected and mistreated. But thanks to the compassion of his foster mom and dad, he’s blossoming! They’ve created a warm sanctuary for him, where he can express his playful side and, oh boy, does he love to play! Throwing toys and wrestling with his dog buddies has become a highlight of his day, not to mention the delicious beef liver treats that make him wag his tail with joy! 😋 Now, here’s the thing, folks—Ranger needs a little extra love and understanding. He’s looking for a forever family with a securely fenced yard and no small children, as they can be a bit overwhelming for him. A family that’s familiar with shy, fearful dogs would be a perfect match! Ranger is making wonderful strides in his foster home, but he requires patience and gentle encouragement to continue to thrive. He’s not just looking for a place to stay; he’s ready to find a family to share those heartwarming moments with. Can you imagine having him around for cuddles and playtime? Just envision the joy he will bring into your life! 🥰 He's proven his intelligence and eagerness to learn, though leash training is a work in progress. But with a step-in harness and love, he’s sure to shine! So, if you’re in the Midwest and you've got room in your heart and home for a loyal boy like Ranger, don’t wait! *Apply through the Buddy App* today to give this handsome fella the loving forever home he so deserves!
