Red

Meet Red, a sharp-minded and loyal one-year-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull mix from Ripley, TN, who takes his role as a guardian very seriously. With his sleek black coat and observant nature, this pup is always on the lookout, keeping an eye on everything around him while never stepping ahead of his leader.

Red is a pup with natural instincts for watching over his loved ones. Whether he’s surveying his surroundings or simply sitting by your side, he’s always aware, always present, and always devoted. While he’s playful and social with other dogs—having grown up in a litter—he has an independent streak that makes him stand out. He’s not one to be bribed with just any treat; he prefers a well-earned chicken-flavored dental stick as his reward of choice.

Even at a young age, Red is already proving to be an attentive and well-mannered companion. He’s vaccinated and picking up on commands like sit and stay, and with his intelligence and strong sense of loyalty, he’s sure to be a quick learner with continued training. Though he’ll grow into a strong and sturdy pup, his heart is just as big as his future paws, and he thrives on the bond he forms with his people.

In colder weather, Red has shown a bit of sensitivity to dry skin, but he’s been thriving with occasional tea tree oil baths that help keep him comfortable and his coat silky smooth! A family that’s willing to continue this simple care routine will help him stay at his best.

With his protective yet gentle nature, Red would do well in a home where he can be both a watchful companion and a loving family member. He’s great with other dogs and young children, and while he hasn’t had much exposure to cats, he’s young enough to adjust with proper introductions.

Red is looking for his next kindhearted family who will appreciate both his guardian instincts and his affectionate side. Could this observant, devoted pup be the one for you? If so, reach out today and take the first step in welcoming this watchful companion into your home!
