🚨 RED NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT BY JUNE 26 🚨
We're going to be completely honest about Red, because she deserves a home that understands her.
If we do not find a foster or foster-to-adopt placement by June 26, Red is at risk of euthanasia.
Red is believed to be a 3-year-old working-line Red Heeler mix who got dealt a rough hand early in life. Because of that, new people can be scary for her at first. She needs a little time, patience, and understanding. The good news? Once she realizes you aren't going to hurt her, she warms up surprisingly fast and becomes a loyal, affectionate companion.
Now let's talk about the elephant in the room: Red is a working dog without a job.
And unfortunately, she has decided that if nobody is going to give her employment, she will create her own. Her current self-appointed duties include monitoring trucks, investigating bugs, supervising small animals, and occasionally attempting to herd small children. She's very committed to her career, even though nobody asked her to be.
Because of this, Red is looking for a home with older children or no children at all and no small animals. She would do best with patient adults who understand that trust takes time to build. Men may need to move especially slowly with her, and a home without men may be the easiest fit.
The thing is, despite her working-dog resume, Red is not a high-maintenance girl. She's perfectly happy with a game of fetch, an adventure with her people, and then curling up on the couch for some quality cuddle time.
What Red offers in return:
❤️ House trained and not show signs of excessive barking.
❤️ Knows a ton of commands
❤️ Loves fetch
❤️ Loves adventures
❤️ Professional-level couch cuddler
❤️ Smart, loyal, and eager to bond with her people
Red doesn't need perfection. She doesn't need someone to "fix" her. She needs someone willing to see past her fears and give her the chance she's never really had.
Please share this post. Her person may be just one share away, and time is running out.
