Story
Hi my name is Red Foreman but my friends just call me Red, and I am told I am a very sweet boy. They think I am about 3.5 years old, 75 lbs, and I came up from Arkansas where I had been living in a shelter a VERY long time- like years long…and I mean people years. But then NDLB got a whiff of me and brought me here to MN to start living life in a home, and I gotta say I am loving it. Shelter life just wasn’t for me- I was a little too shy to get noticed, but in a home setting, my true personality comes out. Unlike my ‘That ‘70s Show’ namesake, I am NOT grumpy, impatient, or hard to please. A little love, a bowl of food, and a good belly rub are about all I need to make me happy. I am a shy boy, and tend to be skittish around new people, so don’t take it personally if I am nervous when we first meet. It seems like I warm up quicker to women over men, although I am non-discriminating when it comes to getting pets and scritches. I definitely pick one person in the household and gravitate more towards them. I have been very gentle with my foster mom and her friends. I did bark at her brother a few times to warn him to give me space, but backed away and retreated to my kennel. I did warm up to him after a few days, but I remain cautious. I have had limited interactions with children, but the few I have met, I let pet me although I was nervous. I have met some cats, and they seemed fine. I just ignored them. I have been good with my foster dog brothers, even trying to initiate some play when I get excited. I would love a doggy sibling, but I would also be content as an only dog. I haven’t picked up on this toy thing, although some of them are like small pillows, and I LIKE lying on pillows! As for energy, I am pretty chill overall. I get zoomies especially when I am getting let out of my crate, and I like my walks, but you would not describe me as high energy. My favorite spot is on the couch with you, but I do like my kennel, it makes me feel safe and I will go right in if you ask and stay quiet and content after a few barks to remind you to come back soon! I am fine in there overnight or when you are gone, I just don’t love not being in the same room as you if you are home. My mom lets me out some while she works and I have never been destructive or naughty when she isn’t looking. I usually just lie in her office in case she needs to give me a few pets between her calls. I did have a few accidents in the house when I first arrived, but I have since mastered only potting outside. I am a dream on walks, no pulling or barking, I just stay right by your side! I am also good in the car. Anyways, I would love to meet you and get to know you a bit better too! Hope to see you soon.
