Scarlett

Meet Scarlett, a beautiful dog in need of a special and understanding home to continue her journey of growth and healing. Scarlett thrives in a patient environment, where she can blossom at her own pace. The foundation of her happiness lies in having a secure home, complete with a loving dog companion to share in daily adventures and comforting moments.

Scarlet had an awful start to life 😞 when she first came into care she was very shut down, wouldn’t make eye contact, never moved from the spot she was in, was untrusting of people and her white legs were stained yellow as she was in a state of freeze (she wouldn’t moved so would just pee in that spot. Scarlet connected with the other dogs first,watched their movements (trying to learn how to be a dog).

Scarlet was in another rescue ,got adopted but was returned as they didnt explain her behaviour due to her past trauma. For an furever adoption to work you have to be honest and tell an adoptee everything about the dog. Their behaviour and everything you know about the dog so that they know what they are in for before making the lifelong decision to adopt. Really thinking about if you can be patient enough to give scarlet everything she needs emotionally,physically and mentally. In the other rescue scarlet was adopted again (and by not being honest about her anxious behaviour ) was going to be returned again, thankfully they contacted us to see if we could help her. We said yes straight away.

In foster care we gave her time and held the space for her to decompress. We let her do her own thing and waited for her to be able to trust us and come to us on her own. As she settled in and bonded with the other dogs she would start to follow their cues and learnt to trust humans by watching the others get affection and love and would slowly come up with the other dogs to start to receive some affection (she melted into this realising that we would never hurt her)❤️‍🩹
We started her on anxiety medication which seemed to take the edge off and settle into her new space.

Slowly she began to make eye contact. She Started to play with the other fosters. We let her do everything on her own terms.
Living with her foster family has taught Scarlett the joy of companionship, and she cherishes every moment spent with her furry siblings.
Scarlett absolutely adores her daily apple treat and is a model canine when it comes to grooming, which she needs every 8-10 weeks to keep her coat in great condition. She would benefit from getting professional dog training to help her gain confidence, ensuring she grows into the happy dog she was always meant to be.

Scarlet is unrecognisable from the dog she came into care as, she has transformed into a delightful companion who thrives in a patient and understanding environment. Scarlett's path to happiness is grounded in having a secure and peaceful space, ideally with a loving dog companion, to share in both adventures and quiet moments . Scarlett seeks a home where patience and love are abundant, allowing her to decompress and truly express her friendly nature. Her journey, while challenging, promises a fulfilling future for those fortunate enough to welcome her into their lives. With your support and an engaging dog companion, Scarlett promises to become a devoted, gentle member of your household.💜💜
