My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Scarlet is a young suspected Pit Bull terrier mix who came to us with her non-littermate sister, Matilda. They were found in another city as as impound pups and we took them in to spare their lives.

Scarlet is gorgeous. She has the most beautiful red/brown mahogany coloring. Scarlet loves people - she loves attention, to be pet, and loves to give big kisses. She also loves treats and playing outside. She has a lot of energy and has some growing to do - not a lot - but some.

She does need some training - someone to work with her and teach her some boundaries and rules, such as not jumping on people. She is super smart though and we have no doubt at all that she will pick this up quickly.

Because she has a lot of power in her jump, she may not do great with younger kids who are more susceptible to being knocked over - at least until she is trained.

She is still young and is still learning to save her potty for outdoors. Occasionally she will have an accident or two. We are working on this with her.

Scarlet will be spayed shortly and receive her rabies vaccination. She is up to date on her distemper and bordetella vaccinations. She has received her latest monthly dose of flea & tick preventative and will be tested shortly for heart worm, Ehrlichia Canis, Lyme's and Anaplasma (4DX).

Scarlet came to us with Matilda and the two have done well together. We do not know how she would do with other dogs as this is something we do not test at the shelter due to insurance limitations. Scarlet does not seem to mind the other dogs in the shelter though. We do not know how she would do with cats. She is young and curious about the world around her.

Scarlet is simply waiting for the right people to come in and meet her and fall in love with the amazing and beautiful girl that she is.

Additional adoption info

We are a donation based operation located in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. We fully vet, vaccinate and medicate animals that come into our care according to their age under the direction of our team of veterinarians: Riverside Vet Clinic. All dogs and cats receive a comprehensive wellness exam, distemper, rabies (if old enough), are dewormed & medicated for flea/tick/heartworms (as a preventative). Occassionally, we will receive a very sick animal who will require significantly more vetting than others and those vet fees are offset into the adoption fee. This would be why some animals are priced higher than others.
