ADOPTED
Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. At Pound Dog Rescue, we believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, and learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process.
This little sweetheart is Randy and he is a 1yr old Beagle boy weighing about 21lbs. Randy came to us from a local shelter where he and his family of
Beagles found themselves. They came from very unsuitable circumstances and had to be taken in by the shelter for their well-being. We took in his brother (Earl) and his mother (Bagelle) as his sister and father were adopted out by the shelter. Randy came to us with terrible leg pain and he was quite a sore boy for a bit while our vet team worked out what was wrong with him. It ended up that he had a very rare infection in his joints. Thankfully an extended round of antibiotics cleared that up and we have been enjoying seeing his true personality come out over his weeks in foster care as he started feeling better and getting his energy back. Randy is now a healthy, happy and friendly Beagle boy who would love to join his forever home for his happily ever after!
Randy is a slightly built Beagle with more of a gentler demeanor than most young boy Beagles. He is a total love of a dog and is more people focused than the typical hound. Now don’t get us wrong, he is all about the smells and adores being outside with a world of sniffs around him, but he is also quite the cuddler and sucky and loves nothing more than to lie on your lap and fall asleep after a good day of smelling stuff. Randy also really enjoys meeting new people and getting the attention from strangers who are just friends he hasn’t met yet. Randy is a social dog and is one you can bring pretty much anywhere as he enjoys new places and meeting new people.
Randy adores being outside and running the yard constantly sniffing and exploring. Randy has asked for a home with a good sized fenced in yard where
he can spend a good amount of time each day. He loves his outdoor time and always finds new things to sniff out. He also loves having outdoor toys to flip about and run around with. He is a puppy at heart and gets a lot of joy from playing. Now, Randy will need a very secure fenced in area as he can be a bit of an escape artist. His foster home has had to reinforce some areas as Randy will find any weakness in a fence and try for an opportunity to go off exploring. Although he enjoys leash walks, he does need the ability to run free in his fenced yard as this is such a joy for him. He is a generally quiet dog and rarely barks which is odd for a Beagle but super nice for the neighbours! He is very quiet in the home as well and doesn’t cause a fuss. Randy is a very easy dog to live with. He doesn’t ask for much, just some toys, good food, and to be allowed on the couch or chair as this is his preferred hang out locations. Randy is housetrained and will go to the door when he needs out. He is very quiet about this though so you have to pay attention and notice when he is telling you he has to pee. He is also crate trained and is crated whenever we aren’t home and at night time. He is too young and mischievous to be left out in the home without supervision at this age.
Randy requires a home with a large fenced yard so won’t be suitable to most apartment or condo settings. He can go to a home with or without another dog. He is a friendly sort, if not a bit timid when meeting a new dog, but makes friends easily. He would do well with another gentle, confident dog to 
mentor off of. His brother Earl is more of a bull in a china shop type and can be too much for Randy. But a gentle dog that will play nicely with him and let him cuddle when sleeping would be ideal. Randy can also be the only dog and get all of the attention and he would be happy as well. Randy lives peacefully with cats in his foster home. The foster’s cats are very dog savvy though and don’t run from dogs or react to them at all. If a cat were to cause a fuss or run, he would certainly chase. So we can only consider a home for him with a cat if that cat is very dog savvy and won’t react to a new dog in the home. Randy also is keen on getting into kitty litter or the cat food so there would be a need to have these items in areas where he cannot access. Randy is gentle natured and is suitable for a home with children but only children old enough and responsible enough to ensure that doors are shut each and every time and the gate to the yard is not left ajar. As a hound, he will be off like a shot if given the opportunity. We cannot risk Randy’s safety by having him run away so need to ensure that his home is safe for him and his family is hound dog savvy. A home with young children would not be suitable for this reason, but we cannot suggest an age of suitable children as there are some very responsible and intuitive 7yr olds whereas some older children are more unaware and can’t be counted on to close a door behind them every time. We ask that anyone with kids who are interested in Randy think honestly about their children’s natures and whether or not they can be counted on to keep the dog safely inside.
Randy travels well in the car. He is quiet for the ride and settles nicely in his crate. We crate him for car rides to keep him safe. He would love to come along on all adventures. Randy is destined to be some person or people’s very best friend and companion. He is equal parts cuddle bug and outdoor adventurist! He is a moderate energy dog and needs some good yard running time along with a couple good paced walks every day. He is a fast walker and needs his person to be fit and active and able to keep up with him . But he is happy with his walks and doesn’t need extensive running to be happy. He will happily lounge all evening on the couch with you as long as he got his outside time met during the day. He is not though a dog that will want to be left outside all day alone. We are not suggesting he be a kenneled dog or a yard dog…he just needs regular outings throughout the day to be happy. He is very much a family dog and we know that there is a lucky family out there that he will be the perfect dog for! Is that yours?
