My name is Ranger *Arriving 11/15*!

Ranger is a sweet and intelligent dog who has come a long way from his days as a stray in Texas. He is leash-trained, crate trained, and enjoys car rides. Ranger loves water, toys, and is always eager to please his humans. His goofy nature makes him a joy to be around, and he's especially affectionate without being overly demanding for attention, waiting patiently for pets.

Found malnourished, he has grown into a healthy, well-rounded companion who adores bedtime and patiently waits for his pets. Ranger shows great patience during leash training and is even-tempered, making him a perfect fit for a family looking for a calm, loving, and easygoing dog.

Ranger is from Texas.   They arrive in Minnesota on 11/15/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.    Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program.   Click here   to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

*Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
