A volunteer writes: What a big smile… such bright greenish eyes… what an engaging and welcoming face. Randy has arrived and anyone, people and dogs alike, is happy to meet him, play with him or just chill out with him in the shade. Randy barely came to the care center and he is already a greeter in playgroups. He stayed for over one hour in a pen, meeting and greeting many other pooches and having fun with each of them. He is that good… pleasant, sociable and friendly. Eleven-month-old Randy is with us as his master is moving to a place not receiving dogs. She describes him as friendly, very sweet and outgoing, playful with children, adults and other dogs. He would love to chase squirrels, though. He is very much housetrained, loves toys, treats, baths and behaves nicely when alone in the house. Surprisingly, he would be shy, scared at times but we have only seen his extroverted side here at the care center. Randy has been beautifully cared for. He is such an attractive young dog, a young prince. He is healthy, the perfect weight and dressed in an impeccable cinnamon and cream coat. I love Randy, still a puppy but such a well mannered younster, loving and super sociable. Come and meet him at once at the Manhattan Care Center. Take him home as your forever best friend.
