My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Rango
Nicknames: Rango Bango. Buddy. Handsome.
Breed: Pit Bull Mix
Age: 2 years
Weight: 88 lbs.
Before OMD: Owner surrender to the rescue due to a change in the family dynamic. Was adopted him out from OMD and subsequently returned after being attacked by the resident dog which resulted in guarding his human due to underlying fear. We have since had him at a board and train for a full professional evaluation, to work on basic training and better assess his behaviors, needs, and ideal home.
Energy Level: Medium. Relatively chill in the home but has his wild child moments (he particularly loves his zoomies outside). We think he would thrive with daily walks and/or a yard to zoom in.
What we love most: When he walks over, rests his head on your lap, and looks up at you. He’s also wooed a volunteer by putting his very large head on her shoulder on their car ride.
What he loves most: Toys. Treats. Cuddling. Car rides. Outside play time and zooming. His dog bed (which he often shimmies half of himself off of) but will ultimately plop himself wherever you area. Cuddling.
If you forced us to say one bad thing about him: He snores.
You should know: You’ll need to check your insecurity at the door, because you won’t be the best looking in the room
But seriously: He may be a big intimidating looking guy to some, but at his core, he is often fearful and underconfident. He will thrive with an owner who can understand this and set him up for success. While he meets the vast majority of people with no problems, certain people and dogs do make him uncomfortable and he needs to have slow introductions
What he knows: Sit. Lay Down. Eat. Outside. Place (work in progress).
Working on: Pulling on leash (He.Is.Strong.). Keeping four on the floor when meeting new people.
Dogs: Currently lives with a senior male Pittie and does very well. Any dog siblings should be medium-large as small dogs get him a bit riled up.
Cats: That’s a no.
Kids: 12+ please. He is large, strong, and jumpy when excited.
House-trained: Yep!
Crate-trained: Sure is!

Rango is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org.

Additional adoption info

One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog.

When a dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500 ($350 for seniors) be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.

Applications can be found here: http://www.omdrescue.org/adoptapp.html
*We will adopt to approved applicants (who are able to meet & adopt in person) who live in CT and the surrounding areas: New England, New York, and New Jersey.
