“Woof. Woof. My name is Randalls Pandles. I am an old soul. My mom said I looked like a Randall when she saw me and the name stuck. My pastimes include watching the news, sleeping on my back just like my humans do, getting belly rubs, meeting people and licking them to death, and eating steak right off dad’s fork. 

“I am probably about two years old, but we are not sure since I was an injured pup that someone just dropped off. Whoever threw me away definitely dropped me off at the right spot because my family sure loves me, and I sure love them!”

Randalls Pandles is a healthy boy that does shed a little. 

He has two fur-brothers Drake and Ralph and all the pups love each other tremendously. 

Randalls Pandles favorite hobbies are chasing the FedEx and UPS trucks. He will eat anything in sight except the delivery men and pickles. 

He spends time both indoors and outdoors, but always sleeps inside with his family. He loves playing fetch, but isn’t good at bringing whatever is thrown back. 

Randalls Pandles is very special to his family – Eric, Julie, Alana, and Tate of Rutledge.

Randalls Pandles’s mom said he was a hurt stray that became a loving, furry couch potato that gives the best cuddles.
