SCARLET IS ADOPTED
!!!!!!!!!02/11/11:Thumbs Up For
Scarlet
Scarlet is looking good
and has recovered enough
to be adopted. Below is
the latest report from
Scarlet's foster mom:
"Scarlet went to see the
Doc today. He and his
staff were very
impressed with the
progress she has made.
The Demodex mange is
just about gone and she
will remain on meds for
another 2 weeks. Her
coat is growing back
nicely, with just a
couple of spots that may
take a bit longer.
Scarlet will need to
stay on Revolution as a
precaution. The topical
treatment is given once
a month to kill fleas
and other parasites. You
can purchase this at
most Veterinarians
offices =)
Scarlet is weighing in
at a healthy 47lbs and
LOVES her meals and
treats. She is currently
eating twice a day. She
loves people of all
ages. Although she is
extremely gentle, she
does do the happy dance
(jumping) and would be
best in a home with
children over the age of
10. Scarlet would prefer
a fenced in yard and /
or a very active family,
that will walk and run
her regularly to work
off her puppy energy.
She loves to end her day
by snuggling, (laying
all over you with her
head buried in your
neck) and sleeps through
the night. She has
become a very happy,
energetic, playful pup
and has a lot of love to
share.
Scarlet plays with our
dog, but like many young
boxers can be a bit
overbearing .. she might
be best as the only pet
in your household. She
is very young, eager to
learn and please.
Scarlet is ready to find
her perfect forever
home...are you ready to
open your heart to this
sweetie?"

Scarlet Is
Getting Better
Every Day
Scarlet is
still recovering
from mange but she
is completely free
of the other
maladies that
plagued her when she
arrived. Her last
skin scraping from
her doctor still
showed live mites
and she will be
going back to the
vet again
next Monday
to check her
progress.
Below is a
report from
Scarlet's foster
mom:
"Scarlet is
doing fantastic!
She is really
growing; she has
gained 7lbs, her
ear infections
have cleared up and
she no longer has
tapeworm. She is
still being treated
with medication for
the mange and
getting her
medicated baths.
Her skin and coat
are really looking
great, nice and
clean and dry. Her
hair is beginning to
grow back as well.
You can tell she
is feeling much
better as her fun
Boxer personality is
really shining
through. She
is starting to show
her true colors and
be a crazy Boxer
pup, lots of laughs
and will get into
mischief any chance
she gets! She
is very very
smart, picking things
up ever so
quickly. She knows
her basic commands,
gives you her paw,
and is now
completely
housebroken.
Her favorite toy
is a Kong with
peanut butter, but
she also likes to
chase balls.
She still tends to
jump to greet people
like most boxers,
and likes to counter
surf (we are working
on this one).
Scarlet loves to
ride in the car and
does OK on a leash.
She tends to pull a
bit, but this can be
corrected in due
time. Now that
she is feeling
better she's in a
rush, as she has
places to go and
people too see.
Scarlet is
getting very jealous
of our dog when it
comes to giving him
attention, so she
would probably do
best as the only dog
in your home.
She is truly an
amazing little
sweetheart, deserves
all of the
attention, and will
reward you with lots
of love and
laughter."

A
Southern Belle
Scarlet was
on the “urgent list”
in a shelter down
South. Although she
was out of our area,
we could not let her
die.
Nobody responded to
her needs because
she had démodéctic
mange. We felt we
were her only hope.
The shelter
told us that she
came in as a
stray…we have no
background about
Scarlet so we will
not be placing her
with children.
We arranged for her
transport and she
was met by one of
our volunteers at 4
AM when she
arrived. Scarlet
then went to her
foster home to get
some much needed
rest. The next day
she went to the vet
for an
exam where the
doctor confirmed the
diagnosis for mange
with a scraping of
her skin. She also
had tapeworm, was
covered in fleas and
also had an
ear infection.
However, there was a
plus with the many
tests they took…she
was heartworm
negative.
Update from
Scarlet’s Foster
Mom:
“Meet Scarlet; a
very loving and
playful 7-9 month
old Boxer pup.
Scarlet is not
feeling all that
great, but she is
still a very happy,
curious and content
little girl. Her
eyes say, "I'm sad,"
but her wigglebutt
and non stop tail
wagging
says...."when I feel
good you'll see how
much love I have to
share and oh yeah, I
will keep you
laughing".
This little girl
is just so so
sweet...truly very
precious. She is not
timid or shy; her
tail is wagging more
and more by the
minute. She LOVES to
snuggle and falls
asleep within
minutes of being in
your arms and then
begins snoring, like
it's
nobody's
business;
she's even louder
than my husband!
Scarlet
currently weighs
38lbs and has an
incredible appetite!
We are feeding her
3x's a day for now,
to help her gain
some weight and keep
up her strength. She
loves treats and
already knows how to
sit. She also runs
to any door she can
find when she needs
to go potty! Scarlet
has been spayed and
is up to date on
vaccines.
Scarlet came to
us with demodetic
mange (non
contagious) and is
being treated w/
medication,
antibiotics and
medicated baths 3-5
x's per week.
Scarlet is also
being treated for
two
ear infections
and tape worm.
This
little sweetheart is
your typical puppy.
She will chew
anything and will
get into mischief
when you turn your
back. We crate her
when left alone.
Although she doesn't
like it, she is
getting more
comfortable with it.
She loves other
dogs, only wanting
to play. She is
great with people of
all ages, except she
likes to jump up to
greet. We are
working on this.
We can't
wait until this
little cutie is
feeling much better
so that we can see
her warm, loving
personality collide
with the crazy
antics of a healthy
Boxer pup. She will
be an amazing
addition to the
right family.”
