Scarlett

Meet Scarlett! Hi, I'm Scarlett! I'm a sweet, affectionate 1 yr old girl who loves nothing more than giving kisses and wrapping my humans in hugs—they make me feel safe, loved, and secure. I'm a playful pup with lots of enthusiasm! I am a terrier mix girl and am actually a smaller medium size, only 28 lbs!! Toys are my absolute favorite, and I'm always ready for a game of tug-of-war or fetch. Even better? I'll bring the ball right back and drop it at your feet so we can keep playing. I absolutely enjoy the company of other dogs and often look to them for confidence and guidance. I'm still learning about social boundaries, though, and sometimes I have trouble understanding when another dog isn't interested in playing. If a friend tells me "not right now," I may bark because I'm still figuring out those social cues. I'm crate trained and do wonderfully in my crate. I can comfortably stay there for up to five hours when needed, and I sleep in my crate every night. Since I'm still learning how to settle on my own, I also benefit from scheduled crate naps during the day to help me recharge. The world is still a big place, and new people and unfamiliar environments can feel a little scary at first. I like to take my time exploring until I know I'm safe. During those moments, I love reassurance from my humans—and a hug is one of my favorite ways to feel confident again. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and incredibly loving companion who will shower you with affection and be your best friend, I just might be the perfect match. I can't wait to meet my forever family!
