About Rango

Meet Rango! This delightful hound mix is about a year old and always ready to bring joy into a home. He showed up at the rescue after being abandoned, but his sweet personality shines through. Rango is incredibly friendly and loves attention, though he can get a bit jumpy when he’s excited. A few treats or toys can quickly calm him down. He has some ongoing skin issues currently being treated with prednisone, and once that’s resolved, Rango will be neutered. He’s up to date on his vaccinations and will be microchipped shortly. This cuddle-loving boy has so much affection to share and is eager to find a family to call his own. He gets along well with both dogs and children, making him a fantastic companion. If you believe Rango could be a great fit for your family, reach out! Let’s find this sweet boy a loving home soon!
