Home, home on the range-r!
Ok, that is not how the song goes, but I still think the song is about me! I am Ranger and I am in need of a home! Get it?
I am a cool, Plott Hound mix, and a large (about 70#) boy looking for my forever family!
Plott hounds are smart and active dogs, even though I am now an adult dog, I still take after my breed and love to have athletic challenges and play time. I know I will be someone's ride or die!!!
If you have longed for a big, stunning dog then I am your guy! I will make some active individual, couple or full blown family one GREAT addition! But don't wait long... I will be adopted very very quickly!
*Ranger is very large, strong and energetic. MUST have a house and fenced yard and active family as well as strong leadership. No apartments or townhouses.* Ranger has the loving heart of a warrior and would love to be your running partner or biking or camping or hiking or traveling or just wandering around- he is IDEAL for your active lifestyle!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
