31,536,000 SECONDS OF SCARLETT 🐾🤎
One year ago today, we pulled Scarlett from the shelter. She was part of a severe cruelty case. She was completely shut down, emaciated, and barely able to stand.
At 40 pounds, she was a ghost of a dog. To put that in perspective, the skeleton and vital organs of a healthy German Shepherd weigh around 19 pounds. Scarlett was essentially surviving on a baseline of bones and organs, with almost nothing else left to keep her alive.
Her X-rays showed a failing spine, severe colon issues, tumors, and pellet fragments still lodged in her heart from being shot. On top of everything, we were told she had cancer. We honestly thought we would be lucky to have her long enough just to show her love, safety, and comfort before she passed.
Instead, she chose to live.
Today, Scarlett is a walking miracle, an 88 pound powerhouse (who is now officially on a diet!). Because of her complex medical needs, she is staying right here with us forever as Sweet Homes only fospice dog.
We have loved and protected her for:
🗓️ 1 Year | 52 Weeks | 365 Days
⏱️ 8,760 Hours | 525,600 Minutes | 31,536,000 Seconds
Every single one of those seconds has been an absolute gift. Happy rescue anniversary, sweet girl!
Donations to our rescue don't just fund the dogs who get adopted. They also allow us to completely provide for a fospice dog like Scarlett, whose medical care and daily needs we have covered for an entire year, and will continue to cover for life. Thank you to everyone who makes her miracle possible. ❤️
