Apart from providing support for his human, Ranger is an assistant Behavioural Health Navigator for Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA) in San Luis Obispo, California. He provides support for people struggling with their mental health. Ranger is also a regular at the Atascadero Senior Centre where he attends the Monday Bunco group. He lets the seniors rub his belly for absolutely free. He occasionally visits local hospitals and skilled nursing facilities to provide support for people as well.
