Randy

Meet Randy - the blue eyed baby!<br/><br/>Male | 8 weeks old | 10 lbs | German Shepherd Mix - Manitoba Designer Mutt | Good with Dogs, Kids and Cats | Currently being fostered in Toronto<br/><br/>Background<br/><br/>Randy's story begins in Berens River, where his mom, Stella, went into labour under the most heartbreaking circumstances. Exhausted, emaciated, and barely clinging to strength, she faced a critical emergency when one of her puppies became stuck. She was immediately flown by airplane to Winnipeg—because her life mattered and every second counted.<br/><br/>At the emergency vet, they helped deliver her second puppy. Later that night, at her foster’s home, she delivered a third baby who was tragically stillborn. Through it all, Stella remained gentle… and heartbreakingly weak. She was so emaciated she ranked roughly 2/10 on a body condition scale, and both she and her surviving pups were severely anemic. After giving everything she had to bring her babies into the world, Stella couldn’t even stand.<br/><br/>But this is where her village stepped in. 💛<br/><br/>Our incredible partners at @k9advocacymanitoba took one look at Stella and knew she needed round-the-clock care. They placed her with Eryn—an extraordinary foster who poured love, nutrition, and safety into this fragile little family. Slowly, Stella found her feet again. Slowly, her body began to heal and her puppies grew stronger and bigger.<br/><br/>And when she was finally strong enough, her and her puppies, Randy and Judy, boarded another flight—this time toward her future, into our arms at SPR where they have been able to decompress and are ready to start their next chapters with their furever families!<br/><br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Randy is an adorable 8-week-old puppy with big, expressive eyes and a gentle, loving nature. He has moderate puppy energy—playful bursts when he wakes up, followed by peaceful naps and cuddles. Curious, social, and friendly, Randy greets new people with tail wags and happy excitement. He’s already showing how smart he is, especially when food is involved, and his sweet personality continues to shine as he grows more confident every day. He’s great with kids and is respectful and calm around the resident cat.<br/><br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>As a young and adaptable pup, Randy can thrive in almost any loving home—whether it’s a family with kids, a first-time dog owner, or someone looking for a close companion. A yard would be a bonus, but isn’t required as long as he gets enough playtime and interaction. Since the world is still new and sometimes a little overwhelming for him, Randy will do best with adopters who can offer patience, reassurance, and gentle structure. He bonds closely with his people and loves being nearby, so a home that includes him in daily life will let him blossom.<br/><br/><br/>Training & Activity<br/><br/>Randy is already learning sit, come, and stay, especially when treats are involved, and he’s making steady progress with crate training and playpen independence. He’s still working on house training, with only the occasional accident, which is excellent for his age. With about 30–60 minutes of daily activity—including playtime, short training sessions, and enrichment toys—Randy balances his puppy zoomies with long, cozy naps. With continued guidance, he’s on track to grow into a well-mannered, confident dog.<br/><br/>Summary<br/><br/>Randy is an adaptable pup who will grow into a wonderful dog with the right structure, routine, exercise and lots of love! Smart, food-motivated, and already learning his basics, Randy is a loving little companion ready to grow into an amazing family dog!<br/><br/>**NOTE** All adoption applicants must be residents of Ontario, Canada to be considered.<br/><br/>Apply here to Adopt<br/>http://seapawsrescue.org/adoptionApplication.html
