My story

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

Introducing Ranger! This nearly 4 year old handsome neutered black tri, weighing around 45 lbs, is looking for his forever home.

Ranger is a smart and active Aussie that would benefit greatly from an experienced home who is willing to accept that he has some flaws that might be considered deal-breakers for some homes. While Ranger is currently residing in a foster home with dogs, his doggy interactions have to be monitored. He has come a long way and is now playing with the other dogs more appropriately. However, his ideal home would be that he's the only dog.

He is just lovely with his people - loves attention and wants to be with you, even to the point where he has escaped out of traditional indoor dog kennels and requires a heavy duty crate if he is expected to stay in one when you're gone. He doesn't require a fence, but it will be highly recommended that he's on a leash until his relationship with you has been established. His foster has shared that he really is such a good boy that wants to do his best, but needs consistency and structure. He has stranger danger that has improved at his foster home with set boundaries and slow introductions.

Ranger also isn't one to ignore his breed's specialty! It makes perfect sense to him that when multiple people and dogs are around, that they should be herded to wherever he feels they should go - having an experienced dog owner to help him channel his energy and work drive will be of significant benefit to him.

The details:

Needs fence: Not long-term, but should be on leash or temporary fenced area until relationship is established.
Good with cats: Dog savvy cats only
Good with dogs: Ideally, no
Good with kids: 13 and older
