August 24thā€¦Scarletteā€™s Gotcha Day! For some reason, I didnā€™t share her ADOPTION publicly, so Iā€™m catching up now. šŸ™‚

This dainty gal sure was full of surprises!! We fostered her for about a month and found out within minutes that she was NOT crate trained and had incredible anxiety over separation and thunder! It was a really SAD sight. But Holly Molter came to the rescue with a carrier crate to keep Scarlette safely confined (she had literally EATEN through two metal crates in the first 24 hours) and within 3 days her thunder anxiety was at a minimum with ZERO medications! Even I was surprised at how quickly she let that go! She would look around frantically when she heard thunder and I just told her no and to lay down and that she did. She went from shaking violently, panting, looking for an escape route, to just cuddling up and riding the storm out. šŸ„° I was SO proud of her. There were so many more hurdkes that would turn this post into a novel. šŸ«£šŸ˜… So Iā€™ll keep it short.

Scarlette seemed to have very ā€œspecialā€ needs and as many times as I wanted to quit, we stuck it through and it was an absolute miracle that a lovely older couple responded to Jensenā€™s share to NextDoor! That very weekend they drove 30 minutes to pick Scarlette up and sign her adoption papers!

They ADORE her and have not had a single complaint about her! šŸ˜… There truly is a perfect home for every dog! Scarlette is living her best life with lots of pampering and great care. I enjoy getting updates from her new mom every few weeks. She really hit the jackpot. šŸ„¹ Happy Tails Scarlette! šŸ’–

Poor POOKIE!! Look at this sweet muffin! She sounds like the perfect package. Staff have her in their office because kennel life is just not cutting it for this girl. Butā€¦thatā€™s not sustainable. She needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER ASAP!! Please message me even if youre just curious and youā€™ve never fostered before! I am happy to answer any questions. šŸ¤—

Introducing, NOVA! šŸŽ„ TAP THE LINK to WATCHšŸŽ„ This adorable young wonder-pup is the cutest thing! She was estimated to be about a year old, enjoys playing with other dogs, warms up very quickly and wants to be in your lap!

Sunny has been good for her! She has a sassy little playmate who is learning boundaries and appropriate playstyles. They are just so entertaining to watch! šŸ˜…

Nova is also quite the water dog! She loves to swimming, get up on a raft and jump off of it lol.

So far, I think the perfect home for Nova would involve lots of exercise, play and string leadership. As a working breed (looks like a heeler mix of some sort to me?) she loves to have a ā€œjobā€.

She is also doing excellent with crate training and sleeps for at least 10 hours at night!

She came to us from a previous foster home of two months so she didnā€™t need the typical ā€œdecompressionā€ that most dogs do. We started our first two days with long pack walks then I let her play with Sunny and my friendā€™s dog in the backyard. It all went well!

šŸ¤— Please SHARE Nova with everyone you know!! ā£ļøLikes and comments help boost this Reel!

HOW is our city shelter supposed to keep up with intake rates like this!? See something, say something. Donā€™t let your friends and neighbors be irresponsible pet owners. Get your pets spayed and neutered!! These are devastating numbers for an already crowded shelter. šŸ’”šŸ˜¢
