Red
Meet Red - Your Next Adventure Buddy! Red is a 2.5-year-old bundle of energy weighing 50 lbs with a heart as big as his paws. After his beloved owner passed away, Red found himself in the loving care of a neighbor who rescues animals-and he's been thriving ever since. Red is always ready for fun! Whether it's a play session with other dogs, a romp around the yard, or just exploring his surroundings, he approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity. He's also a total lovebug-he'll happily cuddle up next to you and soak in all the affection you're willing to give. This playful pup is crate trained and will let you know with a little whine when he needs to go out. He's also potty trained and learning the ropes of indoor life like a champ. Red loves to greet people by standing up and leaning in close for love-it's his signature move! Red does well with other dogs and enjoys hopping around and goofing off with his canine friends. He knows basic commands like "sit" and "lay down," and while he's still working on leash training (he didn't have much before coming into foster care), he's eager to learn and please. He has never been in a home with kids but he is always friendly to the neighbor kids when they played in the street or in his yard. Before his foster home, Red lived outdoors and wasn't reactive to passersby-he has a calm nature in that way. But now, he's learning how fun and cozy the indoor life can be. He'd love an active home where he can continue learning, playing, and being part of the family. If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal companion who's ready to be your adventure partner and cuddle buddy, Red might just be the perfect match! He is located in Houston, TX and can be transported to most states for a $300 fee.
