A heartbreaking story comes from Southern California, where a tiny gray-and-white dog was spotted lying in a school parking lot next to the school’s shrubs.
She was waiting for her family, who had abandoned her, to come back, refusing to leave that very spot, and hiding from anyone who wanted to help her.
Waiting in Vain
Weeks went by, but no one claimed this dog, nor did anyone come back for her. She was all alone in this world, still not realizing that her previous owners were no longer her family.
A Little Dog’s Loyalty
Despite the fact that no one came back for her for fifteen days, this little dog girl refused to budge from the parking lot shrubs. She was inclined to wait as long as needed for her family to come back.
Many people tried to help her, sharing her photos online in hopes of finding her family, but no one ever claimed her. Even when someone tried to approach her directly, she would always hide, until one day, a woman named Suzette Hall came by.
Suzette Hall to the Rescue
Suzette is the founder of Logan’s Legacy animal rescue in Irvine, California. When she came across the dog’s story, she had no doubts about helping her. Suzette drove to the school and searched for this doggo.
“For 15 days, there she was in the morning, afternoon, and then the night. Neighbors tried to help her, but she was too scared. I know she believed if she stayed there, they would come back for her. Loyal little girl,” she wrote.
As the pup was extremely fearful and shy, Suzette decided to set a humane trap with a hot dog in it. Even though this pup wasn’t exactly starved as she was fed kibble, Suzette chose the right food to lure her in!
When she finally got her, the doggo girl was frightened and panicky, but she eventually calmed down and fell asleep in Suzette’s car. Suzette decided to name the dog “Scarlet.”
A New Start for Scarlet
Suzette drove Scarlet to Camino Pet Hospital in Irvine, California, for a checkup. Scarlet received all the care she needed and was cleared for a new foster home. Soon after she was picked up by Suzette, this little dog got a foster family with a bunch of other siblings to play with.
Seeking a Forever Home
Even though she’s now happy in a new foster home, Scarlet is still seeking her forever family. This lovable dog is easy-going, affectionate, and gets along with everyone she meets.
Adapting to a new family is definitely not going to be a problem for Scarlet, as she’s naturally a sweet doggo with great social skills!
Suzette has one condition for the future family who decides to adopt Scarlet: it has to be someone who will never, ever leave her again!
Scarlet being abandoned once again is simply inadmissible, and Suzette hopes she will finally learn what true love looks like. We wish for little Scarlet to find her perfect home as soon as possible!
