🌟 Meet Redd! This 60-lb, 2½-year-old neutered male GSD mix (with a sprinkle of Cattle Dog charm) is a heart full of love wrapped in a shy exterior. Redd is not just your average pup; he’s a sensitive soul who needs a gentle touch and a patient heart. Imagine this lovely boy, taking his time to trust new faces and places. It’s like watching a beautiful flower bloom slowly—each new interaction is a step towards the sunshine! ☀️ Around men and children, Redd can be a bit timid. Therefore, it’s essential for his new family to understand his needs and take it slow. But oh, what a reward you’ll get when he finally warms up to you! Once he feels safe, he unleashes a flood of love, snuggles, and all the attention you could dream of! 🥰 Redd is also a social butterfly when it comes to his furry friends! He’s done well with both dogs and cats, but a slow introduction is key since he values comfort like a cozy blanket. 🐶🐱 Now, picture this: Redd leading you on adventure hikes, running through sunlit trails, or participating in agility activities! Yes, he’s ready to embrace an active lifestyle. But just as important, Redd needs a companion who can be there for him throughout the day—someone committed to continue his training and socialization journey. 🏞️🏃‍♂️ A kind-hearted hero will have to register for one-on-one training and behavioral support before bringing Redd home. He needs an experienced adopter who will patiently nurture his confidence, support his shy nature, and give him room to flourish. Redd was rescued by the loving team at Animal Friends Rescue Project in Pacific Grove from a shelter in Salinas County, and right now, he’s enjoying the comforts of a foster home. What an incredible journey he’s on, and he’s waiting for the perfect family to join him on it! ❤️ ✨ Redd is ready to find his forever home, and he needs a special someone to make this dream come true.
