Randy - He almost didn't make it to SDR!

We've been a foster home with Small Dog Rescue of MN for almost four years. Two years ago, we were scheduled to foster Randy, a small chihuahua-corgi mix. He was coming on transport from Green Bay, WI. We were told the staff at the Green Bay Humane Society feel in love with him and knew they had to get him out of the shelter before he was euthanized.

We called him our little fox-dog as he looked like a furry little fox. He immediately fell in love with my husband but he didn't trust any other men. Hoping to find out more about him, I called the Green Bay Humane Society and spoke with Nicole. She was so excited to hear Randy was doing OK. She said he was so sweet with the ladies but had not passed his temperment test. He especially hated men in uniform. She said a woman dropped him off and said "it's time for my kids to stop torturing him". So, we knew he had a hard start in life.

Shortly after this conversation, my husband and I decided Randy had adopted us and this was his forever home. We enrolled him in beginning obedience training and he really blossomed. His confidence increased. It took well over a year for him to stop peeing if we said his name too loudly or if he thought he was in trouble.

He loves going for car rides and thinks it's fun to play "boss of the cats".

We love him so much and are so grateful to Small Dog Rescue of MN for bringing him into our lives!
