RED HAWK

Update from Red's Foster: My name is RedHawk! (Red for short) I am a Shepard mix and I weigh 67 pounds. I have received all my puppy vaccinations; I am neutered; and I am in search of my first home! I am a good-natured healthy pup. I LOVE RUNNING!!! I love water! I love riding in the car! I LOVE my tummy rubs! I wear my harness with pride. I am very smart. I am good at listening; I am most attentive to sound, then sight; I know some command structure; I seem aloof but I am actually polite. I seem shy but I am actually a deep thinker awaiting gentle engagement. I was born March 30, 2022. I have lived with my foster family since I was 2 weeks old; I was weened from my Mom successfully; I live in a small rural environment so I am not as familiar with the outside world, or desensitized to city living or loud noises, or the socialization as other puppies my age. I am apprehensive about teenagers and children mostly because of the loudness and pitch of their voices; I am still nervous about cars, buses, trains; I am not familiar with other animals, but with proper introduction I can learn to socialize. I would be best suited with an athlete? as a working dog in the field? with a small family? and/or a low impact zen household? I like one on one relationships; I need devoted attention for the duration of my puppyhood (at least next six months). I also need a lot of outdoor space to run and the expectation that I will be a large dog at maturity and that is manageable long-with-standing.
