Pet of the Week for November 29, 2025
If you’re looking for a pup who loves people as much as he loves life, Ranger may be your perfect match. This 9-month-old sweetheart is one of those dogs who brightens a room just by walking in. He’s bubbly, curious, affectionate, and genuinely delighted to make new friends of all ages.
Ranger has terrific puppy manners and is wonderfully responsive. Call his name and he instantly looks up with soft eyes and a whole-hearted “I’m listening!” expression. He already knows how to sit and is eager to learn more. With his intelligence and natural desire to please, he’s a dream student for anyone who enjoys training and bonding.
Like any young dog, Ranger will benefit from ongoing positive puppy training and plenty of fun, confidence-building socialization. He’s at that magical age where new experiences help shape him into a well-rounded companion who will thrive with an active, loving family.
And here’s a wonderful bonus for anyone considering adoption: thanks to Mouf — a cherished FAAS alum and Alameda Post columnist — all adoption fees for dogs 6 months and older are fully sponsored from today, November 29, through December 7. It’s Mouf’s way of helping more dogs find the happy future he enjoys today.
You can meet Ranger during open hours at Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter on Fortmann Way, or call 510-337-8565 for more information.
