About Ranger

Meet Ranger. This brindle Dutch Shepherd mix, about 1 to 2 years old, draws attention everywhere he goes. Ranger is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has settled into life away from the shelter with serious gratitude—he was rescued just in time when his previous shelter closed. What stands out with Ranger is his happy-go-lucky nature. He doesn’t hesitate to say hello, whether it’s a new person or another dog. If playtime is on the table, he’s all in, but Ranger’s equally content lounging by a fire or curling up for some pets and affection. Crate and house training are checked off his list, which makes him easy to have around. Ranger gets along great with dogs and children. With cats, there’s some uncertainty, but he pays too much attention to small animals like bunnies and birds for it to be safe—best to skip a home with little critters. If you’re searching for a loving, playful companion who can switch from silly to snuggly without skipping a beat, Ranger could be the right fit. Ready to fall in love?
