About Ida Red

Ida Red is a 59 lb. spayed female, about 2 years old, ready to find her forever home. She's a sweet, sensitive soul who takes her time to feel comfortable in new situations. When she first arrived, the noise of barking dogs and bustling hallways made her unsure. However, once we found a quieter spot, she blossomed, showing her affectionate nature. She came right over for pets, often leaning against me for comfort. A few kisses sneaked in during our time together! Initially cautious, Ida took a little while to accept treats, but after warming up, she happily accepted them. She doesn’t know 'sit' yet but takes snacks ever so gently. I even sparked her interest with a stuffie, and it was heartwarming to see her playful side emerge, even if just for a moment. Ida may need a patient home willing to let her decompress and build her confidence. Her stress noticeably decreased with each minute we spent together. With time and a calm environment, a joyful version of Ida is waiting to shine through. She seems non-reactive to nearby dogs and might enjoy a furry sibling after appropriate introductions, though her behavior around cats and children remains unknown. Adoption is a journey best taken together, and for Ida, that means giving her the opportunity to feel safe and loved. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
