My story

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

Randy is at our shelter. We are not yet open to the public (but will be on 2/6!). Please submit an application from our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up an appointment to meet him!

Scroll through his pictures to see his cute video content!

Randy is a Kentucky boy who landed himself a wonderful foster home up here for a few weeks. Randy's fosters are traveling and our shelter is operational after 7 months of construction, so we are happy to have Randy back with us. He has been great with every staff member and volunteer.

Randy lived with a couple and their dog, and is such a happy boy! Randy is housebroken, and after some initial anxiety with being left alone in a new place (understandable!), does well free roaming and has been left alone up to 4 hours. He was not intentionally left to free roam, as we do suggest crate training all new fosters, but he escaped the crate every time! Randy is a joy to walk on leash, and would be a great walking/hiking companion for someone who enjoys that.

Randy was such a good playmate for the resident dog. She is a bit older so Randy would need to be made to take breaks sometimes! Randy also spent a few days at Wiggly Tails in Northbrook when his foster was not available, and he did great in that group-play environment!

In Kentucky, Randy was briefly fostered in a home with cats and chihuahuas and did well. So while we have not had him in a home with cats, he is reportedly cat-friendly.

Randy's foster mom writes,"Randy is an active, happy, confident boy! He loves long walks and exploring the world through all the wonderful smells outside. He is a gentle and smart pup who adores other dogs and food. He enjoys spending time with his humans, sometimes even cuddling, although he also likes his space. At night, this means he loves to steal the best spot on the bed and cuddle for a bit and then graciously (he thinks) giving up that spot to go sleep somewhere else. He is housebroken and has done well free-roaming a few times in the house by himself."

We hope you will ask about Randy today!

Randy’s adoption fee is $250. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
