About Red

Meet Red! Red is a striking 75-pound country boy with a heart as big as his personality. At about 5 years old, he spent most of his days roaming free in rural Mississippi, affectionately known as the "Hwy 311 Mascot." After the passing of his beloved owner, Red is now seeking a new home where he can be loved and cherished once more. This friendly and affectionate dog thrives on social interactions and enjoys outdoor escapades. He gets quite excited when greeting people and may jump up initially, but he calms down quickly. Trained and responsive, Red enjoys his outdoor adventures and being included in family activities. He would do well with a canine companion and is great with dog-savvy children over the age of 7 due to his energetic nature. Red is house-trained and has run of the foster home without causing mischief. However, he is quite the escape artist, so a home without crating would be ideal. He’s still getting used to car rides but settles down eventually. His perfect home is active and loving, providing ample companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation. A fenced yard and another playful dog would be beneficial. After losing the family bond he treasured for so long, Red deserves a loving family that will include him in their daily lives. Give this big-hearted boy a chance, and he’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty and companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
