My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Red, and I'm a long(ish)-haired Doxie mix. I'm about a year old and weigh 14 pounds. I'm somewhere around a year old, maybe a few months younger, maybe a few months older. I am a quiet little guy (which I've been told is unusual for a Doxie!) and I am house-trained (ditto). I am also so very happy to be here! My former owner couldn't keep me, and took me to the vet to be euthanized. The vet saw that I was just a puppy (and a very handsome, friendly one, if I do say so myself) and called a rescue group instead.

At my foster home I've been on my very best behavior-- I don't bark, chew, or whine in my crate at night. I want to find the perfect forever home, so I am trying to be the perfect dog! I really like playing with my new foster sister dogs--although they outweigh me by 50 pounds--and I like taking walks. But what I love best is being with my foster mom and her teen-age daughter. So I just lounge on my comfy doggy bed near them (or on the couch when my foster mom isn't looking). I just want to be part of a family, and be loved. Is that too much to ask?

My adoption fee is $375 and includes all of the following: vet exam, distemper combo and bordetella vaccinations, rabies vaccination, deworming, flea and tick preventative, heartworm preventative, microchip and neuter.
