Meet Ranger | Rehome With Love

Meet Our Sweet Malinois Mix!

✨ Neutered | ~5 years old ✨

This boy is an absolute LOVE

He’s amazing with adults, spectacular with kids and babies ❤️, and does great with other dogs (he lives happily with two!). He really wants to find a home where the owner is around as he really bonds to his family.

Farm-Approved Pup!
He’s wonderful with horses , donkeys, goats , and even chickens . Fully house-trained and truly one of the snuggliest dogs ever ️ — if you love cuddles, he’s your guy!

Fun Fact: He LOVES running next to the ATV (with or without a leash!) — it’s a great way to burn off some energy

✨ A Few Quirks (because no one’s perfect ):
• He enjoys going on little “adventures,” so he’ll need a secure, contained yard when unsupervised A standard crate will not suffice if you leave with him in it, if you are still in the house he is fine in a standard crate.
• On leash, he gets very excited and vocal when he sees other dogs — ️ (we’re working on it!)
• He loves goats and chickens and may try to herd them — sometimes helpful, sometimes… not

• If horses are running, he’ll try to help “manage” them — but with a beep collar, he stops and just watches ✔️
• He can be off-leash on walks and comes when called BUT fair warning: you can’t tie him with a standard leash — he’ll chew it to get back to you ❤️ (chain leash or kennel works best)
• Enjoys car rides , though long trips can make his tummy a little queasy

The Best Part:
He is loyal, affectionate, a total people-lover, and a serious snuggle bug

Bonus: Comes with 2 Halo collars!
