Rand's Story

Meet Rand!<br/><br/>Rand is a compact 9-year-old, 38-pound black tri Australian Shepherd with a full tail, a gentle heart, and a very clear favorite thing in life: other dogs. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.<br/>This sweet boy is doing wonderfully in foster care. He is potty trained, eats well, and walks beautifully on leash. Rand is the kind of dog who stays right by your side and never pulls, making neighborhood walks calm and enjoyable.<br/><br/>Rand can be a little cautious with new people and sudden noises. He appreciates slow, gentle introductions and is learning to trust more each day. He has even started gently taking treats by hand, which is a lovely sign of his growing confidence.<br/><br/>Rands personality really shines around other dogs. He is gentle, happy, and relaxed in their company, and his tail wag and smile come out more and more. Morning seems to be his favorite time of day, when he is especially eager to greet his foster parents and start the day!<br/><br/>Rand follows his person from room to room and is clearly looking for someone he can quietly bond with. He would do best with a calm, patient owner who will let him move at his own pace and continue building on the progress he has already made.<br/><br/>Because other dogs give Rand confidence and joy, we suggest a friendly, well-matched canine companion in his forever home. With the right dog friend and a kind person willing to give him time, Rand is going to be a deeply loyal and very special companion.<br/><br/>If youre an approved ARMA adopter, please reach out to the volunteer with whom youve been working. If youd like to be approved to adopt Rand, please fill out an application on our website: www.aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org.
