Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Colorado Springs.

Scarlett, boxer and American bulldog mix

Scarlett is a charming female boxer and American bulldog mix in the care of All Breed Rescue & Training.

Scarlett gets along well with other dogs. Her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment and a home without small children. She is already spayed, house-trained and has had all her shots. 

Scarlett's current caretakers say:

Scarlett is a young, silly, affectionate boxer mix. While she does need some time to warm up to new people, once you are her friend, she will be your buddy for life. She would be a great companion for someone who works from home or is retired. She walks lovely on leash and would be a great hiking buddy.
