Scarlet, 11-year old female black Lab mix, 63 lbs, Spayed
Background: Scarlet was recently surrendered to San Francisco Animal Care and Control as her owner was living in a hotel and feeling quite overwhelmed by the number of animals she had. Scarlet previously lived with a big ol' pile of chihuahuas and their puppies - she was queen of the littles!
What Scarlet's foster says: Meet Scarlet – a sweet and gentle soul with a heart full of love. This friendly 11-year-old pup gets along well with people and shows a calm, affectionate nature. She can be a bit selective with overly enthusiastic dogs so careful supervision is needed when meeting other dogs.
Scarlet is fully housetrained and sleeps soundly through the night. She will bark to alert you of unfamiliar noises outside, showing that she's also a good watchdog. She's been left alone at home for a few hours, and did great. No issues at all.
Despite her age, Scarlet is impressively active. She walks beautifully on a leash and keeps pace on our 2-mile walks without breaking a sweat. She especially enjoys trips to the park and rolling in the grass, her absolute favorite pastime. She knows her name and will come when called and is delightfully curious and really just wants to be where the people are. She’s also a good communicator! She’ll give you an assertive lil snoot boop when she wants something. She’s a pleasure to have!
What Scarlet's Rescue Rep Says: Don’t let Scarlet’s frosty face fool you—this lovely lady still has plenty of pep in her step! Scarlet enjoys her daily walks and would love nothing more than to stroll the neighborhood with her people and spend time exploring grassy parks. She’s not a couch potato, but she’s also not high-energy—just the perfect balance of fun and relaxed.
Scarlet gets along well with respectful dogs and would be happy to share her home with the right canine companion. She needs slow/careful introductions to new dogs, especially young, energetic ones so busy dog parks may not be appropriate for her. We don’t yet know how she feels about cats, but she should do just fine with children, especially gentle ones.
With her sweet nature and zest for life, Scarlet is ready to brighten the days of a family who’ll give her the love and companionship she deserves in her golden years.
Medical: Current on vaccinations and preventatives, spayed, and microchipped. Scarlet had a number of teeth removed recently but is otherwise healthy.
