Snuggles fetch and food! What do these things have in common? Ranger! These just happen to be his most favorite things! If you too love puppy snuggles then he’s the guy for you.  After a seemingly never ending game of fetch, Ranger will happily settle down and chill with a chew bone or even better a nap snuggled up next to his favorite person.  Food is up next on his list of faves, which makes him an ideal candidate for training! He loves to learn and picks up new skills so quickly. All he needs is a new family to continue his education.
It’s hard to believe this adorable guy was taken to a shelter in SW VA after being hit by a car and no one claimed him. After being cleared by a vet he was able to be transferred to Mutts for a chance at a better life! It’s taken some time for us to really get to know him but after spending quality time in not one, but two foster homes (he’s so popular two foster families are sharing his time!), we’ve discovered what an amazing boy Ranger is!
To note, Ranger can be uncomfortable and reactive to some dogs while on leash. We feel with the right fear free training, time and patience, this can be managed and improved. Ranger has had some good play sessions with female dogs and was able to coexist in a foster home with calm, female dogs.Â
At this time it is best for Ranger to live in a single family home with a fenced yard where his interactions around other dogs can be managed. He is able to go for walks with a plan and lots of treats for distractions. Trust us when we say this love bug will be worth all the extra effort!
