Neglected Breeding Dog’s Tail Won’t Stop Wagging After Adoption – See Why!
Dogs are cherished companions worldwide, but this popularity has given rise to unethical practices like backyard breeding, where female dogs often endure the worst conditions just to produce litters.
One such victim is Scarlett, a 4-year-old dog who suffered years of neglect before finding her happy ending. Kept solely for breeding, Scarlett was confined outdoors 24/7 and only brought inside briefly when she was giving birth. Despite the hardships she endured, Scarlett’s story eventually took a brighter turn.
Beginning of Good Times
When Scarlett was brought to Humane Society of Broward County in Florida, she was nervous at first. But after a while, she quickly turned into a sweetheart who loved nothing more than receiving love and giving it back. Not to mention, she took extreme delight in being in air conditioning.
The shelter shared her story on social media because they knew that Scarlett deserved to have a wonderful home as soon as possible. Fortunately, their efforts worked, and a few weeks later, Scarlett found a forever home. (watch the video below)
In a heartwarming video shared by @humanebroward, you can’t help but smile on seeing Scarlett’s happiness on finally getting adopted. The dog’s tail wouldn’t stop wagging the entire time she was leaving the shelter’s premises and hopping into her new parents’ car, going to her forever home.
How Can You Save Dogs Like Scarlet?
When she was with her previous owner, Scarlett never received medical care and was neglected badly. The poor dog had to produce 5 litters of puppies in 4 years of her life.
Scarlet’s case is just one of the many examples of backyard breeding victims. Dogs like her have to face extreme cruelty as they are only used as a tool for puppy production.
After her last litter, Scarlett’s owner decided to keep one of her pups and discard her. The unfortunate puppy who got left behind will sadly go through the same thing their mother did.
To eradicate such practices, what we can do is stop purchasing dogs from backyard breeders and adopt instead. “In the U.S. alone, there are millions of dogs in need of homes, and hundreds of thousands that are unnecessarily euthanized due to overcrowding each year,” said Pet Rescue Advocate Rocky Kanaka said.
