Scarlett, our 10 month old 45 pound Belgian Malinois mix, is so happy to
be done with her inflatable collar. Sure, Scarlett looked great in a
cone and she really pulled off leg bandages (very "80's aerobics
class"), but she feels best when you can see her whole beautiful self.
Found
stray, we suspect Scarlett must have been attacked by other animals.
She had multiple deep wounds on her front legs and was combating
infections. The shelter needed our help and Scarlett needed somewhere to
heal. We've been through about 10000 bandage changes together and
Scarlett has been a perfect patient throughout. Scarlett would just
stand there sweetly, licking some peanut butter, while we flushed her
wounds and put on new dressings. FINALLY healed, we're so excited to
find this lovely dog a forever home.
Like most sheppy puppies,
Scarlett is smart and food motivated. She is playful and active and has
even joined her foster family on several runs. Scarlett is eager to
learn how to be a good dog. She is mostly leash trained, but is very
tempted by squirrels. Scarlett is potty trained and good in her crate
(although she would admittedly prefer to be where the action is). She is
very friendly but can be wary of new people coming into her home. Once
proven they aren't murders, Scarlett is happy to shower them with
kisses.
Scarlett would do great in a home with another playful
dog or one with access to other dogs that want to play. Although we have
not seen her with cats, Scarlett wants to chase them outside, so a slow
introduction would be recommended. Scarlett likely would be fine with
older kids; she's still learning not to jump up, so small kids are not
recommended.
Scarlett is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.
