About Red

Meet Red, a spirited 3-year-old Cattle Dog mix tipping the scales at about 50 pounds. After the passing of his beloved owner, Red found a compassionate neighbor who rescues animals, and he has thrived in their care ever since. This fun-loving pup is always ready for adventure. Whether it’s playing with other dogs, exploring the yard, or simply soaking in the sights, his enthusiasm is infectious. Red is also a cuddly companion; he loves to snuggle up and enjoys every bit of affection you’re willing to give. He’s both crate and potty trained, and he'll give a little whine when it's time to head outside. Red is picking up the indoor life like a pro and greets people with his charming signature move—leaning in for love. With basic commands like sit and lay down under his belt, he’s eager to learn, though he’s still brushing up on his leash training. Good news for dog lovers: Red does well with other canine friends! While he hasn't lived with kids, he's friendly with the neighbor's little ones who play nearby. His calm demeanor makes him a pleasure to have around. Red is searching for an active home where he can keep learning and being part of family adventures.
