My Story: Red was pulled from the Roseau impound when his time was up. They only hold dogs for 5 days before shooting them. Luckily for Red his rescuer saved him and brought him to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue who contacted Pet Haven.

Hobbies: Watching the world pass by from the living room window. Red likes to keep track of how many squirrels are in the yard.

Commands/Tricks: Red knows sit, back, and wait. He has not had any training but does aim to please. He loves to go for walks and is working on his leash skills.

Crate / Potty Trained: Red is crate trained and housetrained.

Activity Level: High. As a sporting breed Red needs lots of daily exercise. He does calm down in the house.

Fun things I do: Red loves to run. He flushes birds in the yard. Loves to go for walks. And probably would love to go swimming this summer.

Socialization/who I currently live with: I currently live with my foster mom, her college age son, and their resident springer. Mom owns Rescue Buddy Boarding so we have lots of different dogs coming and going. I get along with all of them.

Foster Notes: Red needs an active family that will include him in their activities. Kids of all ages would be fine. As would any other dogs. Knowledge of the hunting breeds and their energy is important. A high fence is required to keep Red safe. He is a loving dog that enjoys being around his humans.
