Merrie and David contacted us looking for a playmate for their other rescued dog, Kali and thought that Ranger may be the "man" for the job. Kali is a dominant female Belgian Shepherd mix who had very specific requirements for her canine companion. Kali is rough on smaller breed dogs, and being a girl who likes to be in charge - she was looking for a submissive male dog of equal size. Interestingly, Kali, like Ranger, came from Tennessee, from another rescuer that we know quite well! After two meetings and an overnight with Kali, Ranger proved to be the perfect match!
Merrie and David are avid Dog Whisperer fans, and have done wonderful job training Kali in basic obedience and agility. We know with their guidance, that Ranger will go on to be a well-behaved member of the canine community (although we are not sure how agile he is!)
Things are going great! Ranger seems very happy to be here and is basking in lots of attention from the whole family -- and Kali seems satisfied that he understands her "boss lady" status ;-) . The two of them are enjoying walking and running together, and they've started initiating their own play sessions. They especially love playing keep-away and tug with "ducky"... See attached pix! Thanks again. - Merrie
