About Rambo
Rambo has a patient soul that’s had to weather a lot. He’s come a long way after surviving loss and chaos—the kind that’d shake any dog’s world. He has a gentle presence, especially once trust builds, and his loyalty runs deep. Give him treats or a toy and he’ll light up; he especially loves his balls and quiet time with a favorite person. Routine wins him over, and he prefers calm and consistency. Fast movements or surprises will still make him hesitate, but he adjusts well to new surroundings when given time. Rambo’s best days involve soft landings—maybe time on the couch, a backyard to sniff, and slow afternoons. He enjoys walks, car rides, and chills out nicely once settled. He gets along with some dogs (females tend to work better), but is selective about his canine friends. He’s happiest when his buddy Ruckus is around, though he knows that might not be in the cards. He does well with children and can thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day. Rambo does not get along with cats. Due to his flight risk tendencies, he needs extra care: watch open doors and windows, use a crate if you’re not home, and a tight leash on walks. He’s house trained and makes a devoted companion for the right family. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
