About Wrangler

Wrangler landed on the county shelter’s urgent list before he was rescued and given professional training. He’s smart and responds well to clear direction, but he needs a handler who can match his energy and experience. Wrangler should be the only dog in the home for now, and he’s not ideal for families with young children—older kids or adults are a better fit. Adopters will directly benefit from a trainer evaluation to help Wrangler adjust smoothly into his new setting. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
