Meet Redford

Status: Fostered

Estimated Age: ~1 Year

Estimated Weight: 17 Pounds

UPDATE - 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 (from foster mom): Redford is doing SOOOO WELL!!!! He is ready for a family. He is having no issues and has been a complete joy! He is still a little timid, but he is really happy being in a family. He is doing really well with house training. No poop accidents ever. Some marking. He is not a barker at all. He walks GREAT on any leash. He just needs someone to go slow with him, but he wants to be loved and love back!!!!

UPDATE - 19 SEPTEMBER 2022: Little Redford was able to join us at the Adoption Day on the 17th and did very well! He was a little apprehensive to start, but then he warmed up to the event and trotted around all afternoon with his tail up. He let people pet him and recovered quickly when he got spooked by something (e.g., loud cars). He loved being with the other dogs. The good news is he is now in a foster home where we can learn more about this little guy. Here is an initial report from his new foster family:

Redford “Red” is an adorable, shy little liver colored Beagle. Red is very timid and nervous/scared. He definitely needs time to build up trust, but as that develops you could not ask for a more loving little boy. Red will lay with his people and enjoy some belly rubs. He loves some wet food mixed in with his dry kibbles. He really enjoys chicken, liverwurst, and cheese. He does well walking on his leash. A fenced yard would be great for Red, but it is not a requirement as long as you have a long leash to allow him to run a bit each day. He likes to be where the people are but lays quietly and rarely barks in his kennel. Red would do well in a home with other pets. He loves his doggie siblings and even enjoys interacting with his cat siblings. He is doing well on potty training and only had a few accidents. Overall, Red is not aggressive. If he becomes scared, he may nip when you try to pick him up. Red needs a family that will take the time to build trust with him. A family that is generally a little calmer would be a perfect fit.

UPDATE - 11 SEPTEMBER 2022: Redford is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption. Our kennel manager said he wasn't too happy to go to the vet (fearful - nipped at the vet tech), but he seems to be doing well with the other dogs at the kennels and has not shown any aggression towards other humans. He is just a scared little guy!

NEW - 27 AUGUST 2022: Redford is a small, liver-colored beagle boy who is a little on the shy side. He needs some patience, socialization and time to build his confidence. He would do best with a family who has some experience working with timid dogs. He would also benefit from having a more social dog in the home who can help Redford with his confidence. Redford came to BREW as a stray from the Abingdon Animal Shelter in Virginia, so his history is unknown. He will be available soon.
