My name is Wrangler - Stratford!

Meet Wrangler, a charming large mix-breed puppy with a heart full of love and a future as big as his paws. This sweet boy is destined to grow into a magnificent companion, but he needs the right family to help him flourish.

~ Wrangler is a bundle of affection, always ready to snuggle and shower you with puppy kisses. However, new places and environments can make him a bit nervous, so he's searching for a calm yet active home where he can feel secure and loved.
~ A serene, consistent environment is essential for Wrangler to build his confidence. Apartments aren't suitable for him due to his nervous nature, so he's looking for a house with a secure yard (Not required but ideal) where he can play and explore without the stress of close neighbors and constant noise.
~ Wrangler would do best with older, dog-savvy children who can understand his needs and interact with him gently. An active family that enjoys outdoor adventures and playtime would be perfect for him, but they also need to provide the calm and stability he craves in his everyday life.
~ Wrangler is still learning his leash manners and basic obedience, so he requires three in-person training sessions to help him overcome his nervousness and become the well-behaved pup he has the potential to be. With the right guidance and patience, Wrangler will grow into a confident and loyal companion.

If you have a loving home and are ready to invest in Wrangler's training and development, he will reward you with endless love and loyalty. Are you the family that can give Wrangler the forever home he deserves?
