Randall – A Big Boy with an Even Bigger Heart 





Randall’s story is one of love, loss, and resilience. After being at our shelter for close to one year, Randall was adopted from us back in 2021 and lived a wonderful life with his dad—until tragedy struck earlier this year. In February, Randall’s beloved young owner suddenly passed away at home, leaving him alone for days before authorities were called for a wellness check. We can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak and confusion this sweet boy has endured. 
With no family able to take him in, a close friend has agreed to "foster" Randall while we search for his perfect new home. We are grateful as it would gut us to have him come back into shelter life.  At almost 7 years old and weighing around 60+ lbs, Randall is a big, lovable guy who thrives in a home with a fenced yard where he can explore and relax. He has lived mostly as a single pet but previously enjoyed doggie daycare, so while he may like other dogs, we believe he’ll do best as the only pet in his new home. No cats, please! Kids also make him a bit nervous, so an adult-only home is best.
Despite everything he has been through, Randall is still a fun-loving, sweet-as-can-be pup who deserves a second chance at happiness. We just want to help heal his heart and give him a fresh start. If you’re interested in meeting this wonderful boy, please fill out an application, and we’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet.
