Story
Red is a 10-year-old, 91-lb male German Shepherd who is neutered, medically up to date, and ready to settle into a calm, understanding home for his golden years. He’s a bit of a stubborn, grumpy old man—but in the sweetest, most charming way. Think of him as the grandpa who hasn’t quite caught up with the times, but still has plenty of wisdom (and opinions) to share.
Red loves a good routine, and if you’re steady and consistent, he’s more than happy to follow along. He finds comfort in knowing what to expect, especially when his favorite toy ball is involved—seriously, that ball should come with him wherever he goes. Red is also treat and food motivated, which makes working with him both fun and rewarding.
Because the shelter environment isn’t ideal for fully assessing behavior, we aren’t able to accurately determine how Red would do with other dogs, cats, or children. A quieter home with patient adopters who are willing to go at his pace would suit him best.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with an old-soul personality, a love of routine, and just the right amount of grumpy charm, Red may be your perfect match.
Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs.
Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.
