Scarlet has been adopted! 01-01-2007

Scarlet is so unassuming and humble. There's a smidge of something else mixed in with her German Shepherd which gives her a fluffy appearance. We rescued Scarlet and realized after she was in our care that she was pretty darn pregnant! We quickly found her a foster home and about 10 days later, she produced ten beautiful little babies - five boys and five girls. Scarlet has been a wonderful mom but now that her puppies are weaned, we've got her in a different foster home with adult shepherds (one bossy, one submissive) so that she can transition peacefully.

Scarlet has very simple demands. She seems to enjoy having the yard to stretch her legs in and she also likes to lie out alone on the patio in the morning when it’s nice & quiet. She often sleeps in her crate which her foster mom doesn't bother to close or she sleeps on the floor near her foster mom if that bossy Missy dog that barks at her isn’t in the way. She’s learned that the Molly dog is for playing with and the Missy dog is for avoiding. She enjoys treats but hasn’t shown much interest in toys yet. She’s still very timid and shy but is improving each day. She doesn’t get on the furniture, she’s bombproof in the house, she greets you at the door but doesn’t jump, she’s calm, quiet, sweet, gentle, adorable, etc., etc. - you get the picture - this is a lovely girl who will absolutely blossom in her forever home.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
