Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed. Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first year.
ADOPTED ON 03-17-18 – In Dallas Texas, Ranger was picked up by Animal Control, so common for a place where this charming dog was born. People don’t love their pets any more or less because they live in one geographic region or another. In the rural South, unsterilized dogs are often allowed to roam outdoors. Shelters in such areas are overrun, with kill rates ranging from 50 to 95 percent. Ranger fell in the kill rate and was scheduled to be put to sleep.
Fortunately, his southern foster was able to save him in time. Ranger is a charming and charismatic male Golden Lab mix. The photos make it hard to show how Ranger’s coloring and markings make him unique; he is so very handsome and has a kind sweet face. He has been around children, crate trained and his’s behavior with cats is unknown. We would never guarantee that a dog is good with a cat, however, we will help you and give you lots of tips, but, the responsibility is on the human to keep all animals safe. He gets along great with dogs and currently lives with many others on his Texas ranch.
Ranger was living in filth and starving when he was first picked up. The first few times he had food at his disposal he gobbled it down so fast he used to choke. It is clear that he had been living a life where he didn’t know when he would be fed next. As a precaution, Ranger has no problems with food but we do recommend for all our rescue dogs that the dog is fed in a crate or a closed room for at LEAST the first six months. This gives the dog time to get to know his family and know that he will be fed on a regular basis.
This good-natured boy has a gentle family easygoing spirit that makes him a warm-hearted family dog and a friend. He is an exceptionally intelligent, affectionate, sensitive and – like most dogs will alert to protect his family. He is gets along with children, however, all animals around children should be always be supervised.
The ideal home for Ranger would be a loving family who could spend lots of time with him. He is a social dog, would enjoy going for walks, and is a very friendly, good-natured guy that likes to give kisses. He would love for his new home to have a fenced in yard and another dog were they could roam and play freely, however, if you are an active family that jogs or runs a few days a week, he would love the one on one time.
If you would like to be the one to give Ranger a forever home, with love and affection, where he never has to wonder if his next meal is coming, Ranger is an exceptional special dog that is looking for that special family!
