Look up "good boy" in the dictionary, and you're sure to find a picture of Randy! This playful pup is a trusty companion while you're working from home. He'll curl up and nap when you're busy, but he'll gladly play a game of tug-o-war with you during your 10-15 minute breaks. He's completely potty trained and is great at knowing which toys he can chew and which can't - this means he won't leave any surprises during any conference calls.
During the weekends, he loves to chase tennis balls, go on walks and chew on his plush toys. But don't worry - if you need a calm night in, he'll happily curl up with you on the couch while watching TV.
Randy is a curious creature who remains a bit cautious around new people and dogs. But he warms up after a few minutes and is very gentle and friendly. We can see him doing quite well in a house with kids, but he'll be great in any home that will give him the love he deserves. His foster parents have described him as "one of the easiest fosters we've ever had. Help us find his fur-ever home!
