My story

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

Sweet sweet Rambo!! What can we say?? ..where do we begin?  Rambo is looking for a home where he will be allowed to shine on his own time frame.  With love and patience his true personality will come out and he will be the best dog anyone could ever ask for if just given that chance.  He joined us after his owner died.  He was one of four dogs left behind, no one aware dogs were unattended.  His father died still tied to his chain.  He and his brother broke free.  When help arrived he watched his mother cut off her chain and hauled off on a catch pole, then was humanely trapped a week later, leaving his brother Ruckus behind to fend for himself alone.  Unfortunately, his mother was riddled with cancer so was put to rest at the shelter.  Rambo struggled with the shelter setting, upheaval of his life, intorductions and pepole handling.  Once his brother Ruckus was secured we went to get Rambo too.  Rambo, who had been tentative about people could not be happier to see Ruckus and their rehab began together.  



We believe Rambo and Ruckus had an okay beginning, loved and cared for, maybe not the way we would like but they welcome new people nicely especially if treats or a doggy bone are involved. Rambo is a teddy bear with the most innocent soulful eyes  He enjoys his toys, especially his special balls.  He prefers stability, but will go with the flow!  He chills very nicely and would appreciate a calm home where someone is home a lot, a friend to read a book with or to watch TV.  A backyard to explore under supervision would be ideal.   He's down for an adventure and loves car rides.  He enjoys walks and adjusts well to new surroundings and outings.  He can still be tentative if people move too fast or something unexpected startles him.  Rambo has done well with some dogs, mostly female but is selective on who can be in his circle of friends but would love to be adopted with his bro Ruckus (please ask about him) but he understands that may not be possible for it would take a very very special family to welcome 2 dogs at once.  However, Ruckus is a much more subdued home body kinda guy so both makes for perfect home and out/about.  WOW!! What a great fairytale that would be!?  Can he come live with and love you??  Please pick Rambo!!



Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windows
