Shepherd - Large - Baby - Female - Dog - Scarlette
Description
My name is Scarlett and I am a striking shepherd mix female young pup about 5-6 months old. My ears stand up like a shepherd but I have the markings of a rottie. I currently weigh about 25-30 pounds and will probably grow to be 50-60 pounds so make sure you have room for the adult version of me. I was a little shy when I came to my foster home ,but I am learning a lot of new things here and having fun with my foster brothers and sisters---especially RhettI like to play with the other dogs but have not been around cats so am not sure what I would think of them. My foster mom says I have the most beautiful face and she loves my shiny black coat. I can climb over a 4 ft cyclone fence so I need to have a tall fence at my new home or go for walks and adventures with my leash. I would really love a doggy playmate in my new home or a family that has lots of time to help me grow into a smart adult pup. If your family is looking for a great pup to add to your family please consider me. Our adoption fee is $350 for most young/adults and $400 for puppies. We have had to raise our fee do to our transport costs from the south. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
