At 8 months old, Red (A224938) should be a fun loving, romping puppy, playing with his family members and other dog friends. Unfortunately, Red is a sweet and loving puppy growing up in the shelter. Red was surrendered due to his owner’s move and was an outdoor dog in his previous home. He is ready for a responsible owner who will teach him the skills he needs to be an included member of the family.
Red tends to have a quiet nature and has blossomed with the care and attention of shelter staff and volunteers but he needs a real home. He loves toys, is social with other dogs, very friendly and people oriented. On a recent overnight with one of our volunteers, her experience with him was that he is “the most chill puppy ever” and did well on a leash walk at the harbor, investigating everything which seemed to be new to him.
Red is a neutered male, tan Pit Bull Terrier mix, approximately 8 months old and has been at the shelter since March 24, 2016.
To adopt your new friend, come to Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 2200 7th Ave, Santa Cruz.
