Ranger - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Meet Ranger! This guy is extremely special you guys... When he was surrendered due to his owner's losing housing, Ranger came to Anti Cruelty and immediately proved himself to be the most peaceful, beautiful spirit. He is potty trained, playful and solicitous to adults and kids alike. Ranger lived with another dog in his previous home and reportedly loved him. He has been mild and polite to dogs here, but not super interested in playing so we would recommend slow introductions and maybe friendships with lower energy for this sweet man. He is just so incredibly well adjusted, calm, loving, and deserving of an incredible forever home. Thinking about adding a friend to your family? This sweet guy is currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interested in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know! If you would like to meet Ranger and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and our team will guide you through every step of the adoption or foster process.
