Ransom, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ransom
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Shepherd, Husky mix
Home: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is my new baby, Ransom. We've only had him since August 25 and he's a wonderful addition to our family. He is a rescue dog, put into a foster home after being taken out of the pound, then he came to us. I found him on PetFinder, a wonderful site with lots of beautiful animals waiting for loving homes. We were fortunate enough to be accepted to go meet him since many people were asking about him, and super fortunate to get him.

    He is a very calm, gentle and loving dog. We couldn't ask for anything better. He loves to snuggle and loves belly rubs. He would lie on his back all day if you would scratch his belly. He's very friendly, loves all people (including kids), other dogs and even gets along with cats!! I don't understand why anyone could abandon him because he is just such a perfect dog. He is pretty smart, within two weeks he learned sit, down, come, paw, dance and crate. I'm still working on the stay command, but he seems to be responding well.

    He is not your typical puppy, he doesn't seem to have that high energy that tears the house down. He's always happy and will love you no matter what. He can brighten up my day so easily with his soft fur and ears and his wonderful dog smile Whenever he sees someone coming to pet him his tail goes mad, thumping on the floor if he's lying down. I am convinced that there is no better dog, as even our neighbors who have dogs want to steal him from us. :)
