Story
Lumi came into our home recently and has shown herself to be a sweet, curious, and affectionate puppy. She is playful, intelligent, and loves human connection. She enjoys being near her people, exploring her environment, and soaking up attention. Lumi is still very young and very much a puppy and needs consistent structure, time, and engagement. She would benefit most from a home that can give her more focused training, supervision, and daily interaction than we are currently able to provide. We are looking for a patient, committed home that understands puppy energy and is ready for the responsibility that comes with it. Someone who has the time and desire to guide her as she grows would be ideal. Lumi is loving, alert, playful, and eager to learn. She has so much potential and deserves a home where she can fully flourish.

Story
NC Tri-County Area Miss Scarlett is an extraordinary dog! She has a shiny black coat, beautiful eyes, and weighs only 35 pounds full grown. Her foster describes her as a very, very sweet girl. She was saved from being euthanized from a HIGH KILL Shelter. She loves treats a lot and will do tricks to get them! She has a ton of energy and is perfect for people who like to run or stay super active. She thinks other dogs are interesting. She doesn't bark at them at all. After playing a lot, she loves to cuddle and be cozy with you. Cars make her a bit scared, but she's working on not being afraid. She knows how to sit and loves learning new things, especially if there are treats! She pulls a little on the leash when walking because she's so excited, but she's good at listening and learning. She is a dog who will bring you joy, laughter, and unconditional love. She is heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. A healthy girl who loves people and toys. Her eyes are beautiful. A little background on her: She was starved as a puppy, so she goes crazy over food and has a high metabolism so gets 2 cups of food a day instead of 1. She is crate trained but needs to go out often to avoid an accident. She's rough and rowdy when playing with another dog but is afraid of dogs bigger than she is. It must be A medium sized male who is fixed would be great for her. She is too much for a smaller dog. She LOVES people, is very respectful, and listens. She would do best with older kids as she may knock smaller kids down not meaning to. How she is with cats is unknown.
