Ranger is a sweet and spirited German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his paws. Though estimated to be a senior, he still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life; he loves to play, explore, and connect with people. His affectionate nature shines through in his eagerness to give kisses, make eye contact, and follow your lead, especially if treats are involved. Ranger is food-motivated and knows basic cues like "sit" and "down." He can get excited on walks and may pull when he sees other dogs, but he's learning to settle with consistency and patience. He enjoys walks, yard time, and opportunities to stay active. He has seen cats on walks and seems curious but not reactive; overall, his experience with cats in a home setting is unknown. Ranger is thriving in foster care where he has structure, enrichment, and a comfortable space to relax. He would do well with an adopter who can provide continued guidance, activity, and companionship. Loyal, lively, and full of heart Ranger is ready to be someone's best friend.
