About Ranger

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Ranger, a loving and cuddly Labrador retriever mix with a beautiful white and yellow coat. This young, 7-month-old male was rescued from the streets and is settling well into home life. Weighing in at 50 pounds, Ranger is kennel trained, potty trained, and does well on a leash. While he gets along wonderfully with other dogs, his compatibility with cats and children is still being evaluated. Ranger can live comfortably in an apartment and mostly reserves his barks for moments of excitement—he loves to jump when happy! Separation anxiety is not an issue for him, and he channels his energy into playing with chew toys rather than furniture. Ranger does not chase or fetch balls but prefers snuggles and affection from his people. He has no known behavior issues and is looking for a loving family to call his own. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
