About Scarlet in CO

Scarlet is a sweet, timid girl who needs time to adjust to her new surroundings. At 4 years old and weighing about 20 pounds, she was released from a breeder and is now being fostered in Denver, CO. Right now, she’s learning to trust humans and will require a gentle, understanding owner who can let her settle in at her own pace. Expect to take it slow; she might not be ready to accept pets or cuddles immediately. Scarlet thrives with canine companions, so a home with another friendly dog would be ideal for her growth and confidence. She prefers a calm, quiet environment, complete with a backyard for safe, frequent access to outdoor spaces. While she’s still discovering the joy of toys, she does well in her crate, which she considers a safe haven. Scarlet is mostly housebroken, but she may have accidents if she’s left out for too long. She’s leash-trained but can be hesitant about it, though she rides well in the car. This darling girl is not suited for homes with young children due to her shyness and does not yet engage with strangers. With patience and love, she has the potential to flourish and bring joy to her forever home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
