About Red

**Hi there, I’m Red!** 

I’m a 1-year-old Kelpie with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Life has been a little overwhelming lately, and I’m feeling scared here at the shelter. But I just know that with the right person, I can grow into the confident, happy boy I’m meant to be. 

I’ll be honest—I’m a little shy when I meet new people or face new things. I just need some time to feel safe and learn to trust. Once I do, I’ll be your most loyal friend and cuddle buddy. 

I’m looking for a calm and quiet home where I can relax and feel safe. Loud noises and busy environments make me nervous, so a peaceful household would be perfect for me. Right now, I’d do best as the only pet in the home while I adjust to my new life. Sudden movements and unpredictable energy can startle me, so I’m hoping for a home without children under 12 years old. Since I’m a Kelpie, I’m smart and full of potential, but I’ll need someone who understands my breed and knows how to help me thrive. 

I respond best to gentle, force-free training methods that use positive reinforcement. Treats, praise, and patience go a long way in helping me learn and feel secure. With consistent, kind guidance, I’ll build confidence and show you just how clever I can be. 

I’d love a place where I can spend time both indoors with my family and outdoors stretching my legs. With patience, love, and understanding, I’ll be the best companion you could ever ask for. Are you the calm, kind person I’ve been waiting for? If so, I’d love to meet you and start our journey together!
