Red Dog

My story

Red Dog has been at the rescue for over 2 1/2 years now without interest. He has a story below, but this boy is so deserving of love. When volunteers are are at the rescue, he readily greets them for attention, he always wants to play, and while he can be shy at first, he is a total sweetheart that doesn't deserve to live his life at the rescue. He's a total weirdo, but the best type of weirdo. Read his original story below and maybe take a chance on this overlooked boy. My name is Red Dog. I was pulled from Long County Animal Control on the euthanasia list. Due to being absolutely scared to death. I am an absolutely stunning terrier mix. I will need a very patient person to welcome me into their home. He may not be the dog to run and jump in your lap the first time I meet you, but once I get to know you I am the most annoying and playful guy ever. I was horribly abused before coming to SGER. It took time and love for them to earn my trust. Now I run around with 30 to 40 dogs and can stay out on the farm unattended and not bother a soul. I just play with my toys or my friends. We are working on Red dog and a harness as he gets very scared when restricted because it seems that was when someone hurt him. But he is much better and learns fast and is very food motivated. He can play a little rough and jump some when he likes you but all of those things take time to stop as we don't get onto him too much as not to scare him back into the scared guy when he came. He is fixed, HW negative and house broke.
