Scarlett is known for her travels and fun antics, as well as philanthropy. Scarlett’s pet parent, Michelle, has joined forces with some other amazing Instagram dogs and uses Scarlett’s celebrity status to help animal rescues and shelters in need all across the world. Her family, which consists of sister Paisley and Michelle and Matt Smith, travel full-time across California and many other states.

Scarlett was born in 2015 with a deformed spine and, just in the last year, has had three surgeries, including two spinal surgeries, but her fighting spirit and sassy but always positive nature make her so fun to watch.

The family also does many meet-and-greets and aims to show the world that disabilities should not mean a death sentence for dogs. Special needs pets make wonderful companions for the right family. With the nonprofit CFDDA, along with many amazing friends, they are changing the world for dogs in a positive way.

Scarlett and Paisley, who were the 4th of July Best Costume winners for last year, will be available for a meet and greet prior to the Doggie Parade on July 4. Anyone who comes to meet them or follows Scarlett on social media will get a Scarlett sticker…and hopefully will tell their friends about two amazing dogs.
