Story
Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy boy looking for fresh start and love! RANDY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Randy Best Guess for Breed: Pointer and shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of July 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 42 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! We do not recommend Randy for a home with children under the age of 12. Currently Living at: DC area foster home. Get to know Randy! Randy is Looking For: This handsome guy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. He is eagerly looking ahead to his new one. The one where he gets his own humans for long sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures they can dream up. He's well out of the puppy yips and is in his prime as an adult dog, so he knows what's most important in life: being safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange, he promises loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Randy, who we sometimes refer to affectionately as “Inspector Randy” is such a goofy and sweet dog! Randy is very self sufficient. His house training and crate training are excellent. He entertains himself by playing with dog toys, sniffing under the couch, or putting himself in his crate to get in some chill time. He does not beg for food or demand attention. Instead, he will gently offer to place his head in your lap for some ear scratches and when he’s gotten his fill, return to sniffing or snoozing. But don’t let his self sufficiency fool you - he does love to snuggle! Randy enjoys his walks (did I mention one of his hobbies is sniffing?) and observing birds. He especially enjoys walks where he gets pets from kind neighbors and strangers. Sometimes the squirrels are tempting, but he’s been learning that their fates shall not intertwine. He is also learning that other dogs are more interested in being friends than being his boss, and has found several dogs to greet around the neighborhood. When he’s settled in and knows he’s safe and loved, he will show you his most joyous zoomies. Overall, he’s a quirky lovable dog who would be a loyal companion. Heartworm information: Randy is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Randy has completed this activity restriction period Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!
