Currently, she does best when she can observe others from a comfortable distance of 50 feet. If she feels overwhelmed, she’ll politely 'opt out' by wanting to turn back home. She would thrive with a family interested in positive reinforcement training to help her realize the world isn't so scary after all.<br/>Rides well in car: yes<br/>Destructive: no<br/>Needs a home with a yard: yes<br/>Needs a home with another dog: yes, she gains support from a fellow calm canine and loves play time with other dogs<br/>Can live in an apartment: no<br/><br/>Additional Info:<br/>Meet Scarlett, a sweetheart from Sudbury, Ontario, who is ready to find her perfect "low-speed" lifestyle. Scarlett had a gentle start to life, being raised with her sister by a kind woman who cares for abandoned animals. This early nurturing has made her a calm, well-behaved companion who truly loves to give kisses and cuddle up with her humans.<br/><br/>Scarlett is currently thriving in her foster home, where she has shown she is a "real sweetheart" with excellent house manners—she doesn't mouth, and she's working hard on keeping all four paws on the floor when she's excited.<br/><br/>Why Scarlett is Special:<br/>• The Ultimate Cuddle Bug: Once she knows you, her favorite place is right by your side for kisses and snuggles.<br/>• A "Polite" Learner: She is a calm girl who is already working on her general manners and is very responsive to gentle guidance.<br/>• Canine Companion: She gets along wonderfully with other dogs. In fact, she must go to a home with another dog to act as a "confident role model" and help her navigate the world.<br/><br/>Because Scarlett is a "sensitive soul," she takes life at a slower pace than the average dog. She can be shy at first and may show some reactivity if she feels overwhelmed. Her perfect match would be:<br/>• A Quiet Neighborhood: She would flourish in a tranquil suburban area or, ideally, a home with a country-living feel.<br/>• A Patient Leader: She needs an owner who understands that the world is still a little big for her. She is doing great with "exposure work" where she takes the lead on walks to build her confidence.<br/>• Time and Love: Scarlett isn't looking for a high-intensity lifestyle; she wants a family that will give her the patience to blossom at her own speed.<br/><br/>If you have a quiet home, a friendly resident dog, and plenty of love to give, Scarlett will be a wonderful, loyal addition to your family.
