Meet Ranger, a five-star gentleman looking for his forever couch. Also known as Red, Dr. Red Duke, or Inspector, this handsome 5-year-old beagle is bowlegged and proud of it! He struts like he owns every room he walks into, with white socks on all four feet and his white-tipped tail held high. Those who know him well call him Red for his warm coloring, Dr. Red Duke when he's feeling particularly distinguished, and Inspector because this boy does not miss a thing. Every corner checked, every arrival noted, and every suspicious rustling in the backyard investigated with the full weight of his considerable authority.
Ranger is the definition of a low-drama houseguest. He's fully potty trained, has mastered the doggie door like a seasoned professional, and won't leave you guessing about what he needs – mostly because what he needs is simple: your company, a comfy spot near your bed, and maybe a little of whatever you're snacking on. He's an elite work-from-home companion. Whether you're on your fourth Zoom call of the day or deep into a Netflix binge, Ranger will be right there beside you, perfectly content to log those couch hours alongside you. He takes his support role every bit as seriously as his inspection duties. At night, he'd love nothing more than a bed next to yours, or at the foot of it if you prefer. He's flexible; he's a gentleman, after all.
Ideal Home
Ranger would love a home where he can be near his people, whether you're working or relaxing. He's great with other dogs, fantastic with kids, and generally loves adults. While the jury is still out on cats, a cautious introduction would be recommended.
Ongoing Health
Ranger is a healthy boy with no current health concerns.
Training & Support
Ranger has a few signature moves you should know about:
- The Grumble: Occasionally, Ranger will issue a low, dignified grumble. This is not aggression. This is a gentle reminder that you have been ignoring him for an unreasonable amount of time and he would like that to stop immediately.
- The Welcome Bay: He uses his full beagle voice sparingly – mostly to greet you when you walk through the door (you're welcome, it's very flattering) or to alert the neighborhood that another dog has been spotted in the vicinity. He considers this a public service.
- The Leash Walk: He's good on a leash. No theatrics. Just a bowlegged beagle trotting alongside you, four little white socks marching along like he's headed somewhere very important – because in his mind, he always is.
