Remarkable Ragnar
Meet Ragnar, the ultimate loyal companion with a heart of gold and some seriously impressive house manners! This sweet pup has been thriving in foster care and is ready to find a forever family to love.
• Fantastic house manners — respectful, calm, and - easy to live with.
• Great with humans big and small — he just needs a little time to warm up, then he’s all yours.
• Rock-solid leash skills — walks are a breeze.
• No food issues — polite and easygoing at mealtimes. Along with no counter surfing
• Professional dog-bed snoozer — naps are his passion.
• Velcro-level loyalty — if you’re going somewhere, he’d like to come too (even if it’s just the next room!).
• A little shy at first — he can be nervous with new experiences, but with patience and gentle reassurance, he settles in beautifully.
• Prefers to be an only dog — he has a history of not getting along with other dogs, and he’s currently thriving in a dog-free foster home.
• Crates — he’s not a crate fan, but he does great with freedom in the home thanks to those stellar house manners.
You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!
