Scarlet

A SWEET & AFFECTIONATE GIRL: Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 51 lbs. Hello!  My name is Scarlet!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and have been spending time in a great foster home.  Now, it’s time for me to meet a lucky family and spend my ‘happily ever after’ with them, so plan to come and meet me soon!     • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I get along very well with the two dogs in my foster home, so if you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I love the two girls in my foster home, in fact, the 12-year-old and I are great buddies and do lots of things together.  There is also a 16-year-old that spends a good bit of time with me and I love her, too.  So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am an affectionate girl with a sweet, calm and loving nature.  I’m always ready to be close and soak up every bit of affection you’re willing to give.  I can be a little timid of loud noises or sudden movements, but I recover quickly with a gentle voice or a reassuring touch.  I tend to be more cautious around men than women, watching first before deciding it’s safe, but once I do, my sweetness shines through.  At heart, I’m a tender, loving soul who just wants to feel safe, seen, and adored and I would really like a stay or work from home family member that I could spend my days with.  My foster says I am “awesome!” / My energy level is 2-4. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I shown that I know the ‘sit’ and ‘come’ commands in my foster home and I also have good leash manners.  For a cheese treat, I will gladly extend my paw for a shake.  I bet you can teach me even more great commands. / My crate manners have been good in my foster home, and I’ve shown that I don’t really require one.  I don’t like being left alone in one, as I would rather be near my people. / I’ve only had two accidents in my foster home – one on the first day and the other when it was blustery cold outside.  With a good and consistent schedule, my potty habits should be good in my new home, too.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  Cuddling is my love language, and I’ll happily curl up at your side just to feel connected.  Getting attention is extremely important to me and I hope it is for my new family, too.  And grass?  Rolling in it is pure joy because honestly, life is better when you take time to roll around and enjoy it.  Dog beds are my personal treasure - I like the soft ones best and believe every home should have at least one for me.  I also enjoy a bit of cheese – hey, who doesn’t? / As mentioned, loud noises and fast movements startle me, and my foster vouches for the fact that I am NOT a fan of pill pockets – ick.  I’m not the best on stairs, but I’m sure I can improve if needed.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed.  I take a daily over-the-counter Cosequin which helps with an old injury to my right front carpal region and is good for all dogs.  I am also taking medication to help with anxiety, though I have backed off from it in my foster home – only doing a morning dose when my foster has to work all day.  Just ask about this. I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving family for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
