Story
Meet Redman, a Cavapoo purchased by his owner five months ago from a puppy broker, a business that buys puppies from various breeders and then resells them for profit. His owner purchased two puppies simultaneously, which is a lot for any owner to take on. He is also battling depression and just wasn’t able to properly care for them. Initially, he listed both puppies on Craigslist (unneutered) for a giveaway. Thankfully, a friend of one of our volunteers saw it and contacted Worthy Dog to take them in. She educated the owner about the dangers of giving dogs away online, and he took down the post and did the right thing, surrendering them to our rescue. Redman is 8 months old and was neutered this week. He’s currently being fostered in SC with his foster mom, Julia, and her two pups and two kitties. He’s been a great playmate for their younger Beagle and respectful of the small senior pup, who is not as welcoming. The cat mostly frightens Redman, and he respects her space. He’s also proven to have good house manners, and Julia trusts him to be free to roam in the home. We checked in with Julia for a first-week update: FOSTER MOM UPDATE - 12/21/24 “Redman is a good boy and such a love bug. He’s very obedient, knows his basic commands, and is fully housetrained. He likes to snuggle and give kisses and has done very well with my pack. He plays with my Beagle, Willow, and is afraid of my two cats…he does not even approach them. He’s trying to get my senior, Poochy, to warm up to him and is making progress. They are lying on the couch together right now. Redman likes to be involved in everything and loves attention. He would come to a party even if he wasn’t invited :joy: but then fit right in. He’s a social boy who greets new dogs and visitors with ease. I had two friends stop by today (both male), and he was fine with both right away. He would enjoy having kids in his life to play with and make a great family dog. I have not used a crate with him yet. He sleeps on my bed at night and is mostly on good behavior when left home alone. He does drag clothing around the house but doesn't eat it. That’s totally my fault for leaving it on the floor. He’s very adaptable and has picked up my routine so quickly. So far, he’s been more of a moderate energy pup, but he was also just neutered and is recovering, so I may not have seen his goofball side yet.” ********** Redman is a young, fun-loving, social boy who wants to be part of your life. He wants to go places and do things and will make an excellent sidekick. He would do best in an active home and be fine as an only dog or part of a pack. He will be coming to town on 1/11, ready to go home and start his new life. Apply today!
