My story

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

My name is GRANGER, which is short for GIRL RANGER! I'm a 4 year-young female,75-pound Doberman mix. Why am I a Ranger? Let me explain...
Reason #1: In principle, a RANGER is charged with "ranging over" and protecting an area of countryside. Well, I'm a very loyal, loving companion and very committed to keeping my people and home safe and protected. As I'm confident in my ability to fulfill your dog-companion needs, I would prefer to be the only dog in a home.

I was actually brought to MaxFund by my former family because I wasn't good at living with the other dog in the home. I was very sad to leave my family but look forward to finding the perfect Forever Family to call my very own!

While I prefer to not co-habitate with another dog, I've always been on my best behavior at dog parks where I can relax and let down my guard. With regards to those small humans (I believe you call them babies or children), I lived with a 2-year old and we got along just fine. However, I wouldn't say that I really enjoyed her company so I'd probably prefer to live only with older children and adults who can really appreciate me! I also don't think I'd like to co-habitate with cats.

Reason #2: Becoming a GIRL RANGER is a formidable task - only the most intelligent women need apply! Did you know that Dobermans are consistently ranked in the top five dog breeds with regards to "obedience and command training"? And, many studies have shown that we are the NUMBER ONE breed for trainability. Not too shabby! I already know basic obedience commands, but would love the challenge and structure that would be associated with more advanced training.

Reason #3: One of my favorite hobbies is hiking the Front RANGE, Colorado! Actually, any hiking or exploring will do - it doesn't have to be here in the Front Range. I've done my fair share of exploring these Colorado mountains and I must say that my favorite moments are when we're out as a family appreciating all the natural beauty that our world has to offer! I'm well-behaved on a leash - but I do love when I get to roam free (in legal off-leash areas, of course!) I especially love when we stumble upon an unexpected lake and I get to take a swim.

At the end of the day, I'm just a gal looking for some love and belonging. I really love getting pets and will lean into you in encouragement until I tumble over! And, I don't mean to brag, but I'm a pretty attractive gal if I do say so myself. Most of my coat is dark brown, but my lower legs fade to a lighter brown and my feet are all white. I also have beautifully natural, floppy ears that I love to have rubbed.
