Red is a beautiful 5-year-old Irish Setter who weighs about 61 pounds, but her sweetest feature isn't her gorgeous coat. It's the quiet, gentle heart she's just beginning to share with the world. Red is learning that life can be safe, kind, and full of love. She's a reserved, shy girl who takes her time with new experiences like stairs, car rides, and walks, but with patience and encouragement, she's making steady progress. Once she trusts you, all she wants is to be close by. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or moving around the house, Red is happiest simply being near her people. In her foster home, Red has proven to be house-trained and can be trusted to sleep wherever she chooses. She's a calm, quiet companion who enjoys lounging indoors with occasional short trips outside. She's still discovering what it means to play, so don't expect zoomies or tennis ball marathons just yet. Right now, she's content soaking up love and learning that life doesn't have to be scary. Red does wonderfully with children and especially enjoys their gentle affection. She has also done well with the large male dogs in her foster home and was friendly when meeting a small dog. We think she'd thrive with a calm, confident canine companion who can help build her confidence and show her that the world isn't such a frightening place. If you have a patient heart, a peaceful home, and room for a gentle soul who's learning how to be loved, Red just might be the perfect addition to your family. Her minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
