At the BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas, there is a growing concern about the diminishing chances of rebuilding the trust of an 11-month-old puppy towards humans. Two weeks back, Scarlett’s temporary caregivers stepped in to rescue the puppy from a fatal outcome. However, they have now acknowledged their lack of expertise in handling a dog that is overwhelmed with fear and withdrawal.
On May 10, 2023, Scarlet showed up to the shelter as a stray. She was described as a Labrador retriever mix and weighed 45 pounds. She first cowered in a corner of the shelter, refused incentives, and trembled and flinched anytime anybody approached her.
On May 15, the dog was supposed to be put to death, but a BARC foster stepped forward and saved her just in time.
And she’s come back It’s not Scarlet’s fault; she wasn’t aware that people may be kind at the moment. We need a foster parent with expertise, someone who knows how to handle dogs like Scarlett.
Please let her condition be known to trusted rescue organizations, friends, family, and social media contacts. Lives can be saved by sharing
