Scarlett is an 8 year old American Bulldog mix. Scarlett is a high energy dog who is up for just about anything. She is very smart and well versed in all of the basic obedience commands & skills. She is a very independent girl and she can be a handful sometimes. She will need a firm but fair owner that is patient and knowledgeable of the American Bulldog or similar breed. Scarlett is a favorite of many of our volunteers. She loves to hang out with them for butt scratches. Scarlett loves her walks but can get overly excited when a rabbit or another dog is close by.
One of our volunteers takes Scarlett home with her for visits a couple of times a week. She loves the visits! Scarlett likes to hang out on the back porch and watch to see what might be going on in the park behind the house. She also likes to roll around in the yard. If it's a chilly day, she will lay in the living room while the humans are watching TV. She likes her toys and playing tug. She is a good girl!
The ideal home for Scarlett includes the following:
fenced yard with direct access to the yard from the house
no other pets
children no younger than teenagers
a quiet/calm environment
