Adoption pending! Ranger is a 1-2 year old purebred German Shepard who was wandering for over a month as a stray in southern Minnesota. A bit timid and shy, probably from being on the run for so long, animal control finally was able to catch him and get him to a safe place. Having no chip, or ID  he was placed on a stray hold, his owners were searched for, with no luck and he was finally released to a rescue to be adopted, and that is when UDR was asked to help out this boy, which we agreed wholeheartedly! Ranger gets along with both male and female dogs, loves to play ball and will bond quickly with the human that cares for him. We do believe he will be a loyal companion for the rest of his life. For now he needs a safe harbor, needs to learn to trust and just be loved. Ranger will need a secure yard with a high fence. Once the vets start doing neuters again he will be altered by the rescue. Please apply if you are interested in adopting this fine young Shepard!
