Ranger is a one-year-old (almost two) male Australian Shepherd with a lot of energy and potential. He's still learning to trust people, but with patience and consistency, he continues to make progress every day. Ranger has a spring in his step and will need regular physical activity along with mental stimulation to help keep him balanced. Like many Aussies, he benefits from having a job to do and an outlet for his energy. We would love to see Ranger adopted with Koda, as Koda has been a source of comfort and guidance for him. Together, they make a great team. Ranger could do well in a home with kids who understand how to respect his space and boundaries. He hasn't been cat tested, and any introductions to other dogs should be done slowly and thoughtfully. Regular Brushing Recommended: Ranger's double coat requires consistent brushing several times per week and extra attention during seasonal shedding to keep the coat healthy and prevent mats. If you're willing to give him the time and structure he needs, Ranger has all the potential to grow into a loyal and rewarding companion.
