About Scarletts Last Hope

Scarlett's Last Hope urgently needs a forever home. This sweet girl is about 7 months old and weighs approximately 30 pounds. Scar leans on her canine friends for support, especially since she is deaf and experiences seizures that are mostly managed with medication. It's crucial for her to find a loving environment where she can thrive. Her foster situation has changed due to her caretaker’s family health crisis, leaving Scarlett without a place to stay. Scarlett has shown she can be house trained, especially if she can follow cues from other dogs. She's friendly and enjoys the company of other canines, but potential adopters should be aware that she jumps a lot, so homes with small children might not be ideal. All medical needs will be covered by Whispurring Hope Rescue until she finds her perfect match. If you think you can provide the loving home Scarlett deserves, please reach out. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
