Red 2

My story

Age/Birthdate:6/12/24 * Location: Brookfield,IL * Fully Vetted: Yes Any Special Medical or Special Needs:None Temperament with: Dogs:Good and playful Cats:Not tested Children list specific ages: All ages Strangers:Yes at first Training Needs: Crate Trained:Yes Potty Trained:Yes Hi, I’m Red! ❤️🐾 I’m a big ol’ goofball with a heart full of love and a whole lot of energy! I’m still young and learning, so I can be a little hyper and excited—okay, very hyper—but I promise I’m trying my best and improving every day. I’ve been around older kids (7 and up), and I love them! I haven’t met any toddlers or babies yet, so I’d probably do best in a home with kids who can match my energy. I get a little nervous when meeting new people, but I warm up with time and patience—and once I do, watch out, I’ll be your best buddy! I’m potty trained and I’ve already learned some basics like sit. I still need help learning to keep my paws on the floor and not jump on people, but I just get so excited to see everyone! I love walks (even if I zigzag a bit because, hey—smells!), and I’m super toy-motivated. Give me a stuffy, ball, or chew toy and I’m in heaven. I also get along with other dogs and just want to play, play, play. I love to give hugs, be close to my people, and when I finally calm down… I turn into the gentlest, most content boy. Seeing me relax and feel safe is truly special. If you have a yard to run in and the patience to guide me as I grow, we could be a perfect match. I’m ready to find a forever home where I can be silly, snuggly, and totally loved. Could you be my person? This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason. If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius. Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval. Breed and Age Information: Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners. The adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue) Microchip Rabies vaccine DHPP vaccine Bordetella vaccine 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease) General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. Spay/Neuter Policy: We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breeds projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as “16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure. Interested in Adopting? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt
