My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Looking for a furry friend who's equal parts playful and affectionate, distinguished yet goofy? Then you gotta meet Randy!

Randy, known as Quest in his foster home, may be 7 years young, but don't let his age fool you -- he's bursting with energy and enthusiasm! This fun-loving pooch loves nothing more than engaging in activities like playing fetch, going on walks, and running around in the great outdoors. He's a true go-getter who thrives on exercise and exploration.

But Randy is not just an athlete -- he's also a clever pup who loves to work for treats and learn new tricks. Randy knows his commands like a pro and is always eager to please, especially when there's treats involved. He's extremely smart and seems to understand English perfectly, picking up new commands and words with lightning speed.

But when he's not exercising his body or his mind, he's the epitome of a couch potato-soft, snuggly and always ready for a cuddle session. Randy also does great home alone. He's house trained and can be left to free roam the house unsupervised without issue.

This lovable senior would thrive in a home with a yard, allowing him space to romp around and play daily games of fetch. Randy politely requests a home without kids, and would prefer to be the only pet. While he might be a bit particular in his needs, we think this very good boy deserves to get all that, and more, in his forever home.
