Notes:

Red is in a foster home working on not being scared of everything :)  He has learned to accept the leash and will be working on his real world skills.  More info below:


"I'm really shy, but have made progress while at the shelter.  I would like a quieter home with patient people willing to let me go at my own pace.  I really get attached to people once i know them and am really sweet."  Slurps, Red :)

If you are interested in Red please email melissa@sterlingshelter.org for more info.
