Hi. It’s me, Scrap. 🐾
I’ve been waiting almost a whole year to write this post.
Well… technically the humans are writing it. I don’t have thumbs. But you get the idea.
Almost one year ago, I needed someone to give me a chance. And they did.
Since then, I’ve learned a lot about being a dog. I’ve learned that routines make me feel safe. I’ve learned that not every dog is scary or someone I need to worry about. I’ve even learned that some dogs actually make pretty good friends.
And now I think I’m ready for the next thing I need to learn:
What it feels like to be someone’s dog. 💙
In almost a year of waiting, I haven’t received a single adoption application. Not one.
I know I’m not the dog who can go home with just anybody. I need someone willing to understand me and give me the structure that has helped me become the dog I am today. But I promise, there is so much more to me than the list of things I “need.”
I’m goofy. I’m loyal. I LOVE people. I’ve made SO much progress. And once I feel safe and understand what’s expected of me, I really start to shine.
And guess what? We’ve learned that I may not even need to be an only dog! I do best with female dogs, but I’ve shown that I can successfully be around some males, too. If you already have a dog, we’d just need to make sure we’re a good match first.
My dream home has a fenced-in yard where I can relax and enjoy being outside without unfamiliar dogs right on the other side of the fence. A little space, some structure, and people who are willing to understand me would mean the world.
I’m not looking for a perfect family.
I’m looking for my family.
Somewhere out there is a couch I haven’t slept on yet. A yard I haven’t zoomed around. A person who doesn’t know yet that I’m going to be their dog.
Maybe they just haven’t seen me.
So even if you can’t adopt me, could you share my post?
You never know whose screen I might show up on. 💙
I’ve been waiting almost a year.
I think it’s finally my turn.
Love,
Scrap 🐾
