Ranger

Male · Young · 1 year

Could you be my perfect match? Hello! My name is I can live with Dogs Cats Children MY story Ranger arrived with us about a year ago from Romania. He was so poorly as a puppy and we should have lost him many times. But he fought himself back to full health and was able to travel when he was about 5 months old. Ranger started off in foster was a nervous lad. Unfortunately his foster was not able to cope with him anymore so he made the move to kennels. This was absolutely detrimental to Ranger and he completely shut down and could not cope at all. But recently he was able to make the move back into foster had has thrived ever since. He is currently living with many other dogs and doing very well. Ranger does have some prey drive so as you can see by some of the pictures and videos he wears a muzzle around dogs much smaller than him just in case. But would not need this if living with dogs of similar size. Ranger would definitely need another dog to help his confidence. He would struggle as an only dog. So please only apply if you have another resident dog.Ranger is a big friendly giant. He is about the size of a greyhound. He absolutely loves love and attention and spending hours in the garden playing with the other foster dogs. Ranger walks well on a lead but is still very nervous of the outside world, he would benefit from a walk a few times a week to start slowly building up to longer. Ranger is crate trained and house clean.Ranger does have some mild hip dysplasia so is currently attending hydrotherapy once a week. We would happily cover the costs of this going forward and any cost related to his hip dysplasia. But the hope is with regular hydrotherapy he won’t need any surgery now or in the future.Ranger is the sweetest of dogs you could hope to meet. All he wants is a sofa of his own and the time to trust some new humans. He is a wonderful dog and deserves the absolute world. MY PERFECT HOME Ranger will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing minimum and no gaps at all.As with all dogs on going training will be needed. Ranger can live with dogs, no cats and children 12+.

About Ranger

What life with Ranger looks like

Ranger is a large young adult dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ranger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ranger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ranger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ranger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Angels 4 Dogs Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ranger already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ranger isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Angels 4 Dogs Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ranger and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
