About Red

Meet Red, a 6.5-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart of gold. This gentle and loving boy thrives on the company of his people. He'll cuddle right up in your lap, ready for affection whenever you sit down. While he starts off a little shy, Red quickly blossoms into a loyal companion, following you everywhere and soaking up every ounce of love you offer. With a fun-loving side, Red enjoys showing off his goofy antics, like sitting on his back legs and flashing his charming smile for the camera. He’s leash trained and is making progress with basic commands and potty training. Still, Red hasn’t had much exposure to the world outside, so he'll need a patient family to help him find his confidence at his own pace. Fabulous with other dogs, he would thrive with a dog sibling to keep him company, especially when his humans are busy. Red would adapt well to either an apartment or a house, as long as there’s plenty of love and attention around. His dream home is one where he feels safe and cherished, with someone ready to show him the warmth of family. Once bonded, he’ll be your steadfast companion. A note from his foster: Red is a total sweetheart who just longs for love. If you’re ready to create a loving environment for him, he will reciprocate that love abundantly. What are you waiting for?
