Reddy is a 2 year old purebred sheltie in need of a special home. Reddy has a zinc diffency and requires a high quality dog food and a daily zinc supplement in order to maintain his health. He is a very friendly, but shy dog he would do best in an elderly home, a home without children or in a home with one child who needs a special friend. Reddy was born in a kennel with show dogs, but due to his zinc deffency was unable to be shown or bred, so he spent the first 9 months of his life in a kennel. He was never abused, but most of his contact was with other dogs which led to his extreme shyness.
He does well with other dogs and with cats. He is potty trained, but does have accidents if he gets scared, so he needs to be taken out regularly. I have started training him and he will sit, lay down, shake and walk on a leash with people he knows. Reddy loves to play tug of war and fetch he loves to cuddle with people he knows, but it will take awhile for him to adjust to a new home and people due to his shyness.
Reddy is located in Selma, Ca.
Stay tuned for more animals in need of rescue coming soon!
