The page focuses on appealing for adoption for needy shelter canines.

Shelter dog is starting to give up hope after being adopted and returned

In the video, the Shelter dog is losing hope after she is returned a few days after adoption. Scarlet was excited to get adopted and was looking forward to meeting her new family. She spent weeks watching other dogs she was kenneled with find homes. The pup was waiting for weeks with no interest.

However, she finally got her chance to leave for her new home. The pup was finally adopted, but came back after just a few days. The adopter was a long-haul truck driver who felt Scarlet deserved a better lifestyle. He thought she needed a house with a yard where she could run around. The man found it difficult to send her back, but he thought the dog didn’t like staying in a truck. Thus, the individual decided to give Scarlet another chance to find a better fit.

However, this meant the canine is now left alone to wait for a new home once again. As per the caption, “Scarlet is 3 years old,” and “weighs 38 pounds.” Moreover, she is “social and tolerant with other dogs.” The caption added, “In playgroup, she preferred to avoid the higher-energy dogs and would likely do best with calm canine companions.” The dog is available at the Lancaster Animal Care Center and will hopefully find a loving and comfortable home.

Viewers shared their reactions with one commenting, “Rooting for you sweet Scarlet. I know your perfect home is out there!” Another wrote, “Shared with love from across the world to boost sweet and adorable Scarlet.” A third user added, “I hope your perfect family comes along so soon for you sweet baby.”
