ranger

Hi, I’m Ranger, a 5-year-old Rat Terrier weighing 9 pounds. With a name like Ranger, you might picture me exploring the wilderness, but my favorite adventure is discovering the comforts of a loving home. I’m a sweet, goofy little guy who has come a long way and has lots of love to give. I also have a special talent for making unusual noises somewhere between a normal dog and Jurassic Park. It’s all part of my charm!

Favorite Things: Ranger enjoys investigating interesting scents, keeping tabs on household happenings, and satisfying his endless curiosity about the world around him. He especially enjoys spending time with other dogs and seems to appreciate having fourlegged friends nearby. A playful canine companion is often the quickest way to bring out his fun side.

Training and Manners: Ranger has good manners around the house and does well when given regular opportunities to go outside and has learned how to use puppy pads. Leash walking remains a work in progress, and because he's quick on his feet, he should always remain safely leashed outdoors. He is a good passenger in the car and can sleep in the people bed or his own cozy dog bed.

Health and Care: Ranger is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He is a healthy boy and will simply need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. His grooming needs are simple with regular bath and nail trims.

Other Animals: Ranger gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and has gained a great deal from living with canine role models in his foster home. He has not been tested with cats, though his easygoing disposition suggests he may do well with thoughtful introductions.

Children: Ranger has not had the opportunity to spend time with children. Because he appreciates a gentle introduction to new experiences, older, respectful children (10 +) who allow him to settle in at his own pace would be the best match.

Ideal Home: Ranger is looking for a patient adopter who understands that relationships take time. He can be sensitive to louder voices, particularly from men, and responds best to a calm, gentle approach. A singlefamily home with a fenced yard will allow him to safely enjoy the outdoors while continuing to settle into family life. He also has a remarkable talent for conducting qualitycontrol inspections on anything left within reach, so keeping tempting objects picked up will help keep both Ranger and household belongings safe.

Overall: Ranger is a resilient little dog with a sweet nature and an endearing quirky streak. He has come an incredible distance and is ready to continue thriving with a family that appreciates him for exactly who he is. For a dog named Ranger, it turns out the greatest destination isn't out on the trail at all, it's a loving forever home.

If Ranger sounds like the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $350.
