HONEY DEW SPOTLIGHT! 🚨🚨🚨

This week's Honey Dew Spotlight is going to be shown on Scarlett!

Scarlett is a 2 year old pit mix with tons of love to give.

She originally was at Walker Animal Control where she was found as a stray and pregnant. She was picked up, and ended up giving birth to 7 puppies all of which ended up passing away.

She lived at Walker Animal Control for 6 months with no interest in adoption.

We ended up pulling her to see if we can get her a home. But unfortunately she has had no interest within our rescue as well. We've also had her for about 6 months.
We can't figure out why she hasn't had a single application.

Is it because she's a pit?
Is it because she is heartworm positive?
Is it because she has a hop in her back legs when she walks?
Is it because she lost her puppies?
Is it because she isn't cat or female dog friendly?
I can't quite figure it out! She has lived half of her life in rescue.

She is such a sweet girl and loves to go on long walks! She also LOVES stuffed animals and to play tug o war!

Scarlett is looking for: foster/ foster to Adopt/ Adopter

I love all my senior pups!! And trust me when i say, when its their time, i cry for your babies too

5 things you need to understand when your senior dog visits the groomer.

1. Humanity over vanity. The comfort of the dog is more important than getting a perfect haircut. There may be some choppy spots because old joints, weak muscles and unstable balance are part of aging and it’s not worth making a senior uncomfortable just to get a perfect haircut.

2. Warts/moles may get irritated. They’re very vascular and they ooze regularly. The combination of warm water, forced air dryers, brushes and clippers may make them bleed a bit. It’s not intentional but it’s unavoidable.

3. We work on their time, not yours. They may need breaks. They may need us to go slower. They may require a second set of hands. We will do what’s necessary to keep them comfortable at the detriment of a human schedule. It’s what’s best for them.

4. The haircut is tailored to their needs not their looks. Wet food doesn’t always go well with a long beard if they no longer like their face handled and you can’t keep it clean, so it needs to go short. Thin skin that tears easily and tangled ears means the ears go short or even shaved. Weak joints and muscles mean less time standing comfortably to have lots of brushing or sc******ng done on the legs, so the hair goes shorter. Keep them comfortable.

5. Sometimes we need to let them go elsewhere. Severe health issues or advanced dementia can mean referring you to a veterinary groomer or recommending home grooming for the safety of your pet. We aren’t firing you, we just know our limits and want what’s best for your dog because we truly care about them.

Work with us and understand that grooming seniors requires some flexibility from you and your expectations need to be realistic to keep your senior dog safe and comfortable. Trixie’s family understands and worked with me to keep her happy and comfortable, even though it meant a much shorter less fancy trim. Please do the same with your senior pets groomer.
