About dogs named Red

The following are 25 profiles of dogs named Red from our database of 96 dogs with the name Red.

• “Red is a sweet, 7 month old rescue who is new to the family! He is quite the velcro dog at home, but also enjoys exploring new places off-leash :)“

  — Richelle C.

• “Red is full of energy and loves to run and explore. He loves to wrestle with his sister and helps to keep her active.“

  — Bridgette D.

• “Red loves to walk and run and make new friends. He shares easy and plays a bit rough, but isn't at all aggressive. Loud noices and sudden movement, as well as heights, are trigger points for him.“

  — Glenna H.

• “Lab mix who loves to run and be chased! Not big on fetch but loves to play and meet people. Big goofball and total lovebug“

  — Megan A.

• “Hi I'm Red, I'm very interested in my surroundings but prefer not to be touched. My mom found me at the shelter but doesn't know what my life was like before that. New people and noises can still be scary even though I've become a lot more confident over the last 4 years. My favorite things to do when I'm not laying on my heated blanket are to roam freely through the woods and sniff everything!“

  — Shannon S.

• “Red is a 6 year old stumpy tail cattle dog with a passion for play time! He was rescued from a kill shelter in back in ‘18. He has a strong dislike of strange men & young, small children. Since moving, most of Red’s exercise comes from long walks with dad or playing in the yard with mom on his 50 ft yard lead. Unfortunately the lead limits Red’s very fast zoomies around the yard. His dream is to have a big fenced-in yard one day. So until that day comes, we’re here to find the best spots for running out Red’s built up cattle dog energy!“

  — RAE B.

• “He's a big, goofy boy! Man does he love people, hasn't met someone he doesn't like yet!“

  — Ali C.

• “Love Mom & Dad, dog besties, the beach, car rides, bully sticks, cheddar cheese, and salmon!“

  — Emma W.

• “My name is Red, I’m very excited about life. I love doing anything with my people. I’ve never met a scent that I didn’t like, or a wall I didn’t want to lick. My favorite thing to do is herd furniture & my people.“

  — Jenn C.

• “Hi I’m Red! I was a foster but I was adopted! I am super sweet and love EVERYONE! I love to play and I love to run! I have so much energy!“

  — Alexis s.

• “Hi I’m an 11 month old Shepherd/Dobie mix or some think I’m a Southern Black Mouth Cur -I look just like one. I’m SUPER energetic, athletic, muscular & ready to run & play! I love retrieving balls & tugging, chewing, etc…will usually also go for frisbees…“

  — Shanyn Z.

• “Red is a Staffy x 4yr old and declared a dangerous dog. Red fears people and mostly dogs and behaves aggressively. Red needs new space to explore besides his own back yard. Loves to play and chase the ball & we would like a space where we can do training without the worry of another dog coming into his space. He’s a great dog and loves his family members but can’t get the exercise and the space to explore and take in new things.“

  — Tina H.

• “5 year old rescue pitbull, loves the ball & to climb & run a mile! Very playful just fear reactive because he is a super sensitive boy 🥹“

  — Tyler M.

• “Red is a drivey teenage GSD, he is still intact per breeder recommendations. Just looking for spaces to get him his exercise and sniffs in while he’s learning that the world isn’t so scary, he is nervous around strangers and strange dogs but can tolerate seeing them from the other side of a neighborhood street without lunging or barking.“

  — Fae D.

• “Confident and sweet boy. Wants to play with every dog he meets. So loving ❤️“

  — Anoop M.
