There’s a chance Red is pulling a fast one. He acts like he can’t hear a thing. At 12 years old, this isn’t too hard to believe. He’s very well-behaved, so there’s really no reason for you to have to say anything to him other than “Aren’t you just the most handsome devil on this Earth?”

He’s just a tiny bit timid, but very loving. If you’ve ever wondered if that adage about teaching an old dog new tricks is true, here’s a great specimen to experiment on! Red is house-trained, neutered and up to date on his shots. Since he’s a senior dog, his adoption fee is $75. If you are a senior person, you’ll receive a 20% discount. You could conceivably adopt this sweet boy for just $60.

Red is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 5 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or Instagram, or call 360-533-1141.
