SCARLETT is a STUNNING red and black German Shepherd who is lively, active and loves to be the boss.  She lives with two other German Shepherds who are submissive and has a blast playing and romping.  

SCARLETT is extremely well mannered and a great house dog.  She can heel, sit and stop among other commands, and will wait at the back door to have her paws wiped.  She is housebroken, crate-trained and great on a leash. She’s a smart young girl with brains and just the right amount of energy to suit her age.   

SCARLETT would love an active family to spend the rest of her life with! 

From her current owner:
SCARLETT is 3 now, has all of her shots as of 1/2010.  She is really smart, and loves to hunt - she is very good at catching moles and rabbits.  I think that she would be happy with:
1) someone who wants a companion to exercise or
2) live on acreage where she can run and hunt. 
She is dominant in nature, but very socialized. 
She LOVES to ride in the car! 
I would not recommend a home with small children. 
She was listed originally as "no cats".

SCARLETT was originally found as a stray in Wichita,KS, running with another german shepherd.  She spent some time in boarding and then was adopted to a single person with grown children.   

We do not recommend small children for SCARLETT.    She has been around small children and done fine, but if she has a bone or treat and a child chases her, she will be possive/protective and that can get real bad, real fast. 

SCARLETT's ADOPTION FEE:  $300.  This covers her vetting which includes her spay, heartworm test, all shots, deworming and microchip.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
