About Scarlett

Scarlett is the sort of dog who lights up a room with her upbeat, affectionate nature. Loyal and people-focused, she’s happiest when she’s in the thick of things, soaking up attention—especially if belly rubs are involved. Expect a playful partner who relishes zoomies and is always up for a walk, jog, or run, adapting her pace to keep up with her people. She's pretty sharp, knowing sit, lie down, and “paw,” and she likes having tasks or routines to follow. Scarlett aims to please and soaks up training and engagement. She’s generally sociable but needs a home without toddlers to feel truly at ease; with consistent work, she could expand her comfort zone, but right now she thrives in a household with older kids or adults. After a recent move to a condo without a yard, Scarlett is searching for a place where she’ll have the space, activity, and attention she’s used to. If you want a dog who is lively, smart, and genuinely loving, Scarlett is ready for a new chapter. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
