Scarlett is a dog that tugged at our heartstrings so much that there was no question we would rescue her. She is 5 1/2 years old (as of November, 2018), a Dobie-Greyhound mix (definitely), and she was dropped off by her owner at an animal shelter. Her face was so sad that no thinking rescuer could abandon her to whatever fate would have befallen her after her shelter pleaded for rescue assistance on her behalf. Scarlett is a tall, lean girl who is a little insecure, probably having never been away from home before, but she warms quickly to a gentle, caring person. She appeared to have been a house dog because of her tender feet and loving behavior toward kindness. She's also an excellent watchdog. Unfortunately, Scarlett didn't work out in her last home because she was too unwelcoming to strangers and overprotective. Visitors were frightened by her and her owners couldn't curb the behavior. She is devoted to adults that she lives with but she will need safe confinement when anyone visits, even if she has met them before. She cannot live with small animals or other large female dogs.

Additional adoption info
We ask that you bring the whole family (including the four legged) so we can best match you with the right dog. Once you have found your new companion we will have you fill out a one page adoption agreement. All dogs go home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, with a collar, and ID tag.
Our donations for dogs may vary depending on gender, age, breed and medical needs. Generally our male Dobermans are $250-300 with possible flexibility for seniors. Our female Dobermans are generally a $350 donation, due to the fact that it is more difficult for us to get spay appointments and therefore, we are paying more for those surgeries at other vet clinics. We have to ask more just to make ends meet for now. Little dogs and non-Dobermans are still generally a $200 donation.
