Ranger’s owner has moved into long term assisted living and he is now looking for a new home. Let me tell you more about Ranger - he is very skittish with new people. It takes awhile to gain his trust, however once you do he is very loving. He wants scratches and petting and loves to go for walks in the woods. He will happily walk on a long zip leash. He has an idea where he is going but can be redirected without much trouble. He is very quiet and seldom barks. He has been around smaller dogs and even cats. He is a 9 year old rescue dog. Please let me know if you could provide a home for Ranger.
