RED - 3+ years old, 35 pounds, house trained, friendly when she knows you Pretty girl Red was surrendered with her sister, Queen, when thire owner became ill and was moving. Upon arrival to the shelter, they exhibited signs of "littermate syndrome" so we determined they would be best adopted (or fostered) separately. Red is described as a calm girl who also loves to play with all kinds of toys. She is house trained and can be trusted roaming free when left alone. Red is nervous with new people, especially behind bars or a barrier. It takes a little bit for her to get used to new people. I met her in a yard where she came to me, followed me around, sniffed here and there, and after only a short time, was wagging her tail. I still didn't push it with her, though. There is no need for this. Let her proceed in her own time at her own pace. Red is known to be friendly and playful with other dogs. We introduced her to our gentle and dainty playgroup dogs and although she wasn't 100% engaging with others, she was still near and around the others. She is also known to be friendly and playful with children but don't forget about her nervousness with new people! Children should be taught to respect a new and especially nervous dog. They should be taught to let the dog proceed at his or her own pace. Slow, proper introductions apply to children as well. Red might startle easily with loud noises and quick movements. She is scared of the vacuum as well. Please remember Red will need slow and proper introductions to new people, even your friends and family who are known to you but not her. Red is currently in a back kennel so come in and ask to meet with her!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 17, 2025, 1:00 pm
