Story
Scarlett is THE CUTEST! From her curly, striped tail to her sweet, speckled face, this charming chick is simply scrumptious. This terrific 4 year old tail-wagger is spunky spirited, and full of playful energy. Scarlett will sit for snacks and is anxious to learn more. She's currently in a foster home and loves playing with toys and taking walks. She can be a little dominant and possessive around canine friends, so we think she'd do best as an only dog. Scarlett will thrive with an active adopter and daily exercise. Her ideal home will include a physically fenced yard. She does have some anxiety and is currently on a daily medication. This medication will need to be continued in her new home.If you're interested in meeting or adopting Scarlett, please complete an application at: inapl.org/adoption-application. Once it's processed, a member of our team will be in touch with you to schedule a meet and greet appointment. This is the time when you and all members of your household will come to our shelter to officially make your connection with Scarlett.ScarlettAustralian Cattle Dog/Terrier mixFemaleDOB: 6/9/2019Weight: 45 lbs.Heartworm Negative
