Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Scarlett!! Scarlett is a cranky senior, 11 years old, who has not had a great life! She originally came from the Lorain County Kennel as a stray. She had a skin infection from fleas, double ear infections and basically no hair on her back. Fast forward after some TLC all her hair has grown in, and her ears have been treated.
She is spayed and completely vaccinated. We had an x-rays done to see if she had any back issues that would explain her fear of being picked up, but the Doctor said she just had some age-related arthritis. Scarlett is 32 Lbs. (should weigh about 28#). Scarlett is house-trained, crate-trained, and is a well-behaved house dog. Scarlett is looking for the right person to love her how she is and understand that she is looking for a roommate who will just let her live out the rest of her golden years.
Scarlett is NOT a lap dog, and she will not tolerate being picked up. We think something in her past has made her very reactive to being picked up. She is a bossy Terrier mix, at first, but once she trusts you, she will seek pets on her terms. Scarlett is looking for someone that just wants a house dog to watch TV with and just hang out. She needs a fenced in yard so she can have the freedom to wonder around. She does well with other dogs and will even engage play, once she is comfortable with them.
She has been conditioned to wear a muzzle when grooming or vetting was required. She tolerates the muzzle, once she trusts you. She has never bitten anyone but will try to snap if you try to pick her up.
She is very food and treat motivated so she will respond to going into her crate for a treat and does not mind traveling in a crate, in the car. Scarlett just needs an experienced owner with no kids because kids would want to pick her up.
If you are interested in Scarlett, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Scarlett would be a good match for you. Adoption fee/donation is $50.00
If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Scarlett, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!
