Ranger is a very loveable, well-behaved boy who is good with people, very outgoing, and loves life.  His foster mom calls him a "teddy bear". Ranger also gets along well with other dogs.
 
Ranger has been diagnosed with Partial Central Diabetes Insipidus.  Ranger has been treated in the past with medication which is extremely expensive.  After consulting with a veterinary internist, Ranger is being monitored off the medication.  Ranger also is nearly blind in his left eye and has poor sight in the right eye. A veterinary ophthalmologist has determined that this loss of eye sight occurred earlier in life and the infection is no longer active.  Despite his impaired vision, Ranger sees enough to watch the squirrels!  He has adjusted well to his sight challenges in that he does not run into walls, furniture, etc.  In fact, he loves to run in the backyard with the other dogs in his foster home.
 
Ranger needs free access to lots of water (because of his diabetes insipidus) and therefore needs constant access outdoor to relieve himself.  One of the concerns with diabetes insipidus is that a normal bout of diarrhea or vomiting for most dogs could be life threatening for Ranger.  Because of his condition, Ranger could dehydrate at a very rapid pace, so immediate veterinary care needs to be obtained for him in such circumstances.

After a long wait for just the right home, Ranger met his perfect match. He was adopted and will be living a great life with people who love him. His condition is under excellent control and he is a very happy, loving boy now with a wonderful home.
