A heartbreaking story comes from Southern California. A small gray and white dog was found lying in the school parking lot near the school’s bushes.

He waited for the abandoned family to return, refused to leave and hid from anyone who could help him. Weeks went by and no one claimed the dog and no one came back to claim it. He was alone in this world, still unaware that his former owners were no longer his family…

The puppy was tempted to wait for the humans to return.

Despite not having any visitors for 15 days, this little girl refused to come out of the bushes in the parking lot. He tended to wait for his family to return.

Many people tried to help her by sending her photos online to find her family, but no one claimed her. Even when someone tried to approach him, he always hid, and one day a woman named Suzette Hall came to visit.

Suzette gave her dog a fresh start.

Suzette is the founder of Logan’s Legacy Animal Shelter in Irvine, California. When he heard about the dog, he didn’t hesitate to help him. Suzette went to school and found this dog.

“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 she 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 by 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. She decided to name the dog “Scarlet”.

She drove her to Camino Pet Hospital, in Irvine, California, for a checkup. Scarlet got all the care she needed, and got cleared up 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.

Little Scarlet Is Seeking A Furever Home

Even though she’s now happy in a new foster home, Scarlet’s still seeking for her furever family. This lovable dog is easy-going, affectionate, and she pretty much 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, though – it has to be someone who will never, ever leave her again! 

Scarlet being abandoned once again under some tree is simply inadmissible, and Suzette hopes she will finally learn what true love looks like. We wish for little Scarlet to find her pawfect home as soon as possible!
