Story
12/05/25 14:47Meet Ranger, a 2 year old 63 pound male German Shepherd. He is available for rescue only. Ranger is a big time cuddler, showing serious love and affection to every person he meets. He is the ideal work-from-home companion, and has done amazing in the home environment with his Foster Family. Ranger struggles with other animals, getting anxious or jumpy around squirrels, cats, and other dogs. He knows a lot of tricks and would probably love to show them off in exchange for a cuddle or two after.10/16/25 14:32Notes from Rangers Foster: `Ranger has been with us for about a month and a half now. Overall, he`s been doing great! We`re continuing to work on his commands (sit, paw, stay, etc.), and we`ve been also working on them outside during walks to help him stay calm when he sees other dogs and animals. His reactivity has been improving gradually, and when we see dogs from a distance outside, he`s sometimes able to redirect himself and go in the other direction on his own. It`s a great step! He`s also been much calmer seeing cats in windows.His separation anxiety is pretty much completely gone! We are able to leave him at home, uncrated and he`s by himself with no problem. We`ve also noticed he gained some healthy weight since we first started fostering him, which is great as he was very skinny when he first came from the shelter. He especially loves the new food we bought him, which is the Kirkland Signature Adult Formula in Lamb, Rice and Vegetable flavor. He seems to prefer it to chicken.We`ve loved having Ranger at home with us, and know any other family would too. He`s such a sweetheart, very affectionate, and loves to cuddle.`09/16/25 16:05This dog has been in our care since 4/30/25 and could benefit from being out of the shelter. Placed on needs rescue.From Rangers Foster: Ranger has been doing amazing with us. Since arriving, he`s been fully house trained, mastered the staircase (which he had never seen before), knows `sit` and `paw` (with both paws!), and he`s been practicing `stay`, `come`, and `leave it`. He is super affectionate and loves all the attention, all the time. He`s been the perfect work-from-home companion and loves every person he meets (and they`ve definitely loved him). He walks nicely on the leash, though he does get anxious and jumpy around squirrels, cats, and other dogs. Because of this, I would not recommend Ranger in a house with other ani
