Redbone

My story

🏈 Meet Redbone – The Humble Hunk of the Hound League! 🏈 You know that guy on the football team who could totally win the game single-pawedly, but still says things like, “Aw shucks, I just do my best”? Yeah. That’s Redbone. This 2-year-old soft-hearted athlete came in as a stray on 7/20/25, probably after politely asking for directions. He’s got short-yardage charm and full-field sweetness. Redbone isn’t flashy—no touchdown dances, no barking into microphones—but don’t be fooled. Underneath that bashful stare is a five-star recruit of love and loyalty. He’s the kind of dog who looks to you like you’re the coach, waiting for permission to play. “Is it okay if I wag now? Maybe roll around a little?” Yes, Redbone. It is always okay. Once he knows he’s safe, it’s game on—play bows, zoomies, and maybe a celebratory lap around the yard. He’s gentle. He’s snuggly. He gives off “retired NFL player who now runs a doggy yoga studio” energy. If dogs had high school yearbooks, he’d be voted Most Likely to Make You Cry With a Nose Boop. Redbone doesn’t want the spotlight. He wants your lap, your heart, and maybe a squeaky football to carry around. 🏆 He’s available for adoption now at: Richland County Dog Shelter 📍 Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 Email for an application: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov Suit up and come meet your new MVP—Most Valuable Pup!
