Why hello wonderful world! They call me Ranger around here, but my friends have given me so many nicknames it's hard for me to keep track! I started off life in a pretty crummy place but one day, that all changed!
My foster mama took me home and introduced me to living inside, being clean, having friends and food and treats and toys...boy, I am one grateful little dude! I live with my big grumpy foster sister and my big playful foster brother. I love them both and have learned so much from them!
I am great in a kennel and sleep all night without a peep. I have never had a potty accident inside at home, but I'm not old enough to be trustworthy just yet! Foster mom is a veterinary technician, so I get to go to work with her every day. I've made so many dog friends and there's even been another foster puppy for me to play with! All the staff think I'm the sweetest puppy ever, instead of going nuts playing and wrestling, I enjoy asking for cuddles and kisses in your lap.
Now don't get me wrong, I love a rough and tumble, but I definitely want a human family that will give me lots of cuddles. No one can figure out what I am, especially because my ears have a mind of their own! They've been calling me a sharp-shep (my neck is super wrinkly like a shar pei, but my fur is soft and my face looks somewhat like a German shepherd!)
I'm probably going to be a medium sized dog when I'm done growing, but we'll just have to see what happens! If you're looking for a laid back love bug that's great with others and doesn't need too much stimulation, look no further, I'm your boy!
Ranger is a Male Shar-Pei/Shepherd that we estimate to be born around 5/23/2024. As of 10/12 he weighed 25 lbs.

More about this rescue
K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.
We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)
No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.
K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.
We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.
Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
