Red

Hi folks, my name is Red. That is because I am a yellow lab that is more at the red end of the color scale. I am mostly English, short and boxy, LRR says I have beautiful feet! I am a male, about 2 years old, and sometimes that puppy in me comes out and I get real silly. I am neutered, have all my shots, I am crate trained, good with dogs and cats.

BUT I am afraid of some people. I am afraid that people might hit me - so I close my eyes so I don’t have to look. LRR thinks that my last owner probably hit me sometimes or yelled at me a lot. I wish I could tell them my story, but they just have to figure it out. They do know that I was a stray and the nice people that found me tried to find my owners but were not successful… so I went to the shelter.

In spite of my fear, once I get to know you and trust you, I love to be with you. I love to be hugged and petted. I will even play ball sometimes. The foster homes of LRR (wonderful people, ya know!) are working with me to overcome my fear of being hit. They take me places, and they hug me a lot and introduce me to more and more people. I am learning that people can be pretty good!

I would like a quiet home with someone who loves to cuddle. I like to take walks, but sometimes I hide behind my walker - so don’t expect me to protect you from anything - your job is to protect me.

Anyway, if you would like to meet me, let LRR know. Maybe they can arrange it when I am more confident.
