About Red

Meet Red, a lively 3-year-old Cattle Dog mix weighing about 50 pounds. He has made a smooth transition into rescue life after the passing of his beloved owner, thanks to a caring neighbor who took him in. Red's enthusiasm is infectious; he's always ready for fun, whether it’s a play session with his dog buddies or exploring the yard. This affectionate pup embraces cuddle time, relishing every moment spent close to his humans. He's come a long way in his indoor training, quickly becoming crate and potty trained while effectively communicating his needs with a simple whine. He greets people with his charming signature move—leaning in close for affection. Red thrives around other dogs, happily engaging in play. He’s picked up basic commands like sit and lay down, and he shows a strong eagerness to learn more as he continues his leash training. Although he hasn't lived with kids, he's friendly towards the neighbor kids and maintains a calm demeanor around passersby. Red is looking for an active family where he can grow, learn, and play as part of the pack. Red is located in Houston, TX, but can be transported to most states for an additional fee of $300.
