Ranger is a happy, goofy 3-year-old German Shepherd mix in San Jose, CA, weighing about 60 lbs. He loves adventures—dog park runs, snuggles with his humans and female dog pals, long walks with plenty of sniffing, and time with his toys. He’s sharp, energetic, and thrives with daily mental and physical exercise. Ranger is great with female dogs both indoors and outdoors, but can't live with male dogs or cats right now. He would be happy as an only dog too, as long as he’s included in family outings. Crate and muzzle training are underway to help him adapt wherever life takes him next. Ranger prefers a home with adults or older kids who understand when he needs space, since he’s sensitive about being touched unexpectedly. Ideally, someone with experience managing “shepherd traits” will help Ranger settle in. He needs owners dedicated to positive, force-free training to keep bringing out his best. His foster mom, Steph, will support a smooth transition into your home. Ready for an outdoorsy sidekick who will make you laugh every day? Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
