Adopt Available - Ranger a White - with Brown or Chocolate English Setter /

Location:

Havertown, PA

Description:

Socialization/training: Ranger has had some basic obedience training as he understands sit down, stay, no, ect. Ranger has been known to be aggressive with certain dogs inside the house, but otherwise does well with other dogs. Ranger was tested with various types of dogs by a certified trainer, his issues with certain dogs are more situational. Ranger lived in an outdoor kennel, by himself, for over 10 years so he is still learning how to be a member of a family inside. Ranger likes things calm in the house. He would prefer to be the only dog or share a home with another older dog that doesn’t get in his face. If he were to go to a home with other dogs, very patient and planned introductions outdoors or at open, neutral spaces would be a must. It may, or may not, take him some time to adjust to a new home. Crate trained: His past foster reported that he would settle down in the crate after 10 minutes or so. At his current foster home, this is not the case. Ranger is known to settle down while crated or kenneled if all the other resident dogs are and he is in the same room with them. If not, he will continue to bark and pace to the point he is covered in drool and worn out. He is/was fine with being crated if he knows his foster dad is home (ie overnight), even if other dogs aren’t. Ranger also does best in his crate, with someone home, if there is a storm or fireworks. He doesn’t do well with either. He will shake and keep wandering around the house looking for somewhere to hide. In his crate with the door shut and he feels better (with someone home). Ranger’s life outside has made him more vocal than a lot of setters and that should be remembered in living circumstances where noise could be a problem. Leash trained: Ranger is fine on the leash and loves to go for a walk. He is a very strong boy for his age and is very prey driven so he will pull and get distracted, but he is eager to please and learns fast. Activity Level: Ranger is very active for a dog of his age. He likes to run around the yard and even likes to play with other dogs. He is always excited when his foster dad comes home and likes to run around and tell everyone how happy he is about it. Ranger also enjoys going for a swim at the dog pool. He mostly likes to run around the pool, but enjoys a lap or two when he’s there. Fence: Due to Ranger’s history of being kept in an outdoor kennel, he is a certified escape artist (with the bruises to prove it). A secure, physical privacy style fence of at least 6 feet will be required. He can climb chain link fences very easily. Behavior: Ranger is a sweet old man who would love nothing more than to lay in your recliner while you are home and nap. He has learned to enjoy being petted and loved on. He has been found to bond quickly and more favorably with men. He has no problem with women, but if there is a couple he will choose the male. He can be protective of his chosen people/person (resource guarding) when it comes to other dogs. His foster dad feeds him in his crate and has kept bone and toy time very supervised. Ranger likes things to be calm inside. He is doing well now after about a year of living indoors with other dogs, but he is still learning. Medical History: Ranger had lyme and was treated but he will test positive the rest of his life. Ranger has several old injuries from his escapes during his previous life. At some point it's believed he had a small stroke as he has one “lazy” eye. Ranger also has typical arthritis and old man pains and is on a daily pain reliever. It is very affordable. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Foster Comments: Ranger is a very deserving dog. He is a sweet and happy old man. He loves a comfy chair, yummy meals, and to run around outside a little bit. He is a great eater and loves a big cool drink of water (keep your toilet lids closed!) Ranger is older, but he still has so much life left and love to give. He needs just the right retirement home that will be patient with him and help him live out his life happy and safe as he deserves. He is very easy to love and you know he appreciates his new lease on life.
