5-Year-Old Hound Mix Available for Adoption in Evansville

This happy fella is RANGER BOY, our adoptable pet of the week from It Takes a Village. RANGER BOY is a 5-year-old hound mix with big, brown, soulful eyes, and check out that heart-shaped (kinda) pink spot on his nose. So cute!

RANGER BOY may weigh 65 pounds, but we're pretty sure he is convinced that he might just be a lap dog. He is fond of treats and knows how to sit pretty to get them. He also likes to go for walks, letting his nose lead the way.

All the animals at It Takes a Village are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, and treated if necessary.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
