Ranger

My story

Hi, I'm Ranger! I'm a 2-year-old, 18-lb Shih Tzu - Maltese blend. I'm currently scouting out chicken, belly rubs, more chicken, and a special forever family who will love me forever. General Behavior: Ranger isn't shy and lets his smart, snuggly, playful personality shine through from the moment you meet him! He is such a resilient, loving little soul who is here for a good time, snuggles, and chicken. He is the sweetest little shadow pup and he loves giving hugs and being in close proximity at all times.   Likes & Dislikes: Ranger will do ANYTHING for chicken. He also loves playing with toys, pups and kids. Training: Ranger is a smart cookie! He is housetrained if let out regularly, loves car rides, sleeps in a dog bed at night, walks well on a leash, and generally has good basic manners. He'll even let you know when he has to go outside! Medical:  Ranger has a history of seizures and is on a strict medication schedule to keep him feeling his best. He takes his meds every 12 hours sharp, and as long as he stays on schedule, he’s a happy, comfortable boy. His medication costs approximately $100 per month AND PPR WILL COVER THE COST OF HIS MEDS FOR 3 MONTHS. Since starting his new medicine regimen, he's been seizure-free and our hope is he'll never experience another. Bonus: he takes his medicine like a champ (with the help of a tasty little chicken wrap).  Other Animals: Ranger loves playing with other dogs of all sizes. Children: This loving guy is great with children of all ages. He's not the softest with his kisses and hugs so he should be watched around young children, but he is a firm favorite at neighborhood movie nights at the moment! Home: Ranger would do well in an apartment, condo, or single-family home (as long as it is well-stocked with chicken). Grooming: As a Shih Tzu blend, Ranger will need regular brushing plus professional grooming every few months. Overall: If you adopt Ranger, he'll change your life for the better with his love, resilience, and playful nature. Is Ranger the sidekick you've been looking for?
