Ranger is a 1-year-old male Shepherd mix in urgent need of a loving home to recover from a minor illness. He has been at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter since July 29, 2026, and is ready to embark on a new life. With his medium-length black coat, Ranger is not only handsome but also neutered and up to date on vaccinations. This energetic and friendly dog requires a nurturing environment where he can rest and recuperate. Foster homes must be located in Kern County, but the Companion Animal Protection Society can arrange transportation for adopters on the West Coast, covering transport fees typically between $85 - $300. Ranger is eager to find his forever family, where he can thrive and live his happiest life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
