🧭🐾 Meet Ranger — A Good Boy on a Mission to Find His Forever 🐾🧭

Ranger is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent his whole puppyhood watching the world from the sidelines, waiting for a family to notice him. Born into an unwanted litter, Ranger and his siblings grew up without the simple joys of home life — no couch naps, no bedtime routines, no humans calling his name just because they love him. But somehow, Ranger’s heart stayed wide open.

Ranger is friendly, affectionate, and playful, with an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to be around. He does great with other dogs and kids, and has that wonderful mix of curiosity and gentleness that makes you think, “Yep… this is a really good dog.” He’s the kind of guy who’s happy to explore by your side and then check in often, just to make sure you’re still there.

His mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad remains a mystery — possibly a shepherd mix, possibly a smooth-talking drifter with a wagging tail and great timing. Whatever the blend, Ranger inherited the brains, athleticism, and loyalty that make for an amazing companion.

Ranger would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also values connection and togetherness. He’s eager to learn, ready to bond, and so deserving of the life he never got to experience as a puppy.

🐕 Ranger’s Rundown:
✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs
✅ Friendly, affectionate, and people-oriented
✅ Great with dogs and kids
✅ Playful, curious, and loyal
✅ Smart and ready to learn
✅ Waiting patiently for his forever family

Ranger doesn’t need much — just a chance, a home, and someone willing to love him the way he’s been waiting for all along.

✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help Ranger complete his most important journey yet: finding home. 🐾🧭
