Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ranger has been safely recovering and blossoming back to health in his foster home for about 2 weeks now.
His bloodwork is all almost entirely back to normal. He is no longer accumulating air or fluid in his stomach or intestines. His incision is almost entirely closed and has no more drainage and he is off of all medications. Ranger is also eating like a champ and feeling better and better every day. His activity has been gradually increased over time and Ranger loves his walks. Ranger is best friends with his foster sister, who is a large female mixed breed with a matched energy level to his. But sometimes Ranger likes to get her riled up to play and then suddenly has enough and walks away, his foster mom calls him “the instigator”. Ranger loves the cat in his foster home although sometimes he loves a little too much, fortunately the cat lets him know when he’s crossing the line and Ranger is respectful and backs off with the hissing and swatting of a cat who has reached her tolerance limit. Ranger will countersurf if given the chance so if not supervised, he is crated. No food is left out unattended or Ranger will take the opportunity to steal if it presents itself. Ranger does very well in his crate when his foster family is working. He does sleep on his own bed in his foster mom’s room at night.
Ranger is a true velcro Dane, and that is no exaggeration. Ranger needs to be near his people at all times and touching them and being petted as much as possible. Ranger never lets you doubt how much he loves you. He is such a character.
Ranger will need a home that will give him all the love and attention he seeks while gently setting the boundaries necessary to not let him take over. Ranger does respond to light correction, a stern “Ranger” does get his attention and he will listen to his leader.
Ranger knows his commands. He will need someone to continue to work with him for him to be the best boy he can be and he really wants to please.
Ranger’s health journey is truly amazing, he is a miracle dog, he was on death’s door but with his determination to recover and the fabulous medical attention he received, he defied all the odds.
Ranger is still a Dane in need, his hospital bill was quite high, but he is almost ready to go to his forever home, so applications for Ranger’s adoption will be reviewed.
Ranger is going to make someone a wonderful loving companion, he is an awesome boy with such a winning personality!
