When it comes to the BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas, the future of an 11-month-old puppy’s trust in humans is quickly fading away. In an effort to rescue the pup from certain death, Scarlett’s foster parents intervened two weeks ago. However, they are now realizing their lack of experience in handling such a fearful and withdrawn dog.
Scarlett arrived at the shelter as a stray on May 10, 2023, weighing 45 pounds and described as a mix of Labrador retriever. Upon her arrival, she found solace in a corner, rejecting any form of reward. She would flinch and tremble whenever approached by anyone.
The pup was scheduled to be euthanized on May 15, but a compassionate BARC foster came forward just in time to save her.
And now she’s back. It’s not Scarlett’s fault; she simply has no concept of the potential kindness humans can offer. What she requires is an experienced foster parent who knows how to provide proper care for dogs like her.
Please spread the word to approved rescue groups, friends, family, and your social media connections about Scarlett’s predicament. Sharing her story has the power to save lives.
