My story

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


What to say about this pup. Ranger has been my special project for 5.5 years now and he has been dealt a rough hand. Abandoned in an apt years ago I took him in to save him from an uncertain fate. He had obvious abuse and was/still is very wary around men. His second life was full of learning moments, showing him love and a good life. This was successful until a few months ago when a severe illness took away the use of his back legs and now his mobility is reduced to my ability. He loves rolling around in his wheelchair, head scratchies, and his squeeky toy. The brutal reality is that I cannot lift him without assistance or move him around enough to save him from the bedsores. I can’t bare to have him put down when he has so much life in him still, but he needs a carer with the resources and space to attend his level of needs. He is great with females and other dogs. His new mobility issues makes him feel more vulnerable and so homes with inexperienced males are not the best for him.
