🚨 ROCCO & SCARLETT – DESPERATE EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
SHORT-TERM FOSTER NEEDED NOW – MAXIMUM 8 WEEKS
Long-term aim: Lifelong Sanctuary Foster Home
Cornwall • Devon • Devon/Somerset border please.
Hello! We’re Rocco and Scarlett, two older doggies who have spent years together and suddenly have nowhere safe to go.
OUR SITUATION IS NOW DESPERATE. OUR CURRENT FAMILY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT KEEP US ANY LONGER AND WE URGENTLY NEED SOMEWHERE TO GO.
We need a warm, calm short-term foster home together for a maximum of eight weeks. Scarlett also needs cancer surgery as soon as possible and somewhere warm and comfortable where she can recover afterwards.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE OUR FOREVER HOME. Right now, we simply need somebody to get us through this immediate crisis while Paws2Freedom searches for our lifelong sanctuary foster home, where we can grow old together.
RESCUE STORY
Rocco and Scarlett have lived together for many years and are closely bonded.
Both originally came into their current family through Gumtree. Scarlett joined them at around four years old. Rocco was bought through Gumtree in 2021 with very little known about his previous life, and has been part of the family ever since.
Rocco’s need for personal space has become impossible to manage safely alongside a very young child. His family have said they would not otherwise be looking to rehome him, but they have now reached the point where they simply cannot keep the dogs any longer.
We therefore need to get Rocco and Scarlett into a safe foster home as a matter of urgency, particularly as Scarlett also needs cancer surgery and somewhere suitable to recover.
SIZE
Small/medium.
SEX
Rocco: Male
Scarlett: Female
AGE
Both around 10 years old.
NEUTERED / SPAYED
Yes – both.
VACCINATED
Current status to be confirmed.
MICROCHIPPED
Yes – both.
HOUSE TRAINED
Yes – both.
CHILDREN
A home with young children would not be suitable.
DOG-SAVVY OLDER TEENAGERS MAY BE CONSIDERED in the right home.
DOGS
Scarlett is very friendly with other dogs.
Rocco has lived happily with Scarlett for years and previously lived with another French Bulldog. He can become defensive if unfamiliar dogs rush into his space or things become too excitable.
A home without additional dogs would be simplest, although the right calm, well-managed situation may be considered.
CATS
Neither currently lives with cats, so a cat-free home would be the simpler option.
LIVESTOCK / OTHER ANIMALS
Not tested for either dog.
BEHAVIOUR, TEMPERAMENT, UNIQUE TRAITS & TRAINING NEEDS
Scarlett
Scarlett is friendly, affectionate, loyal and sociable. She loves people, other dogs and being involved in family life.
Rocco
Rocco is loving once he knows and trusts someone but values his personal space. He enjoys walks, beaches, car journeys and plenty of snoozing.
He has some behavioural history around handling, personal space and resources. Over the years he has occasionally used his teeth to communicate when feeling crowded, startled or uncomfortable, but these incidents have been LOW LEVEL and INFREQUENT.
The most recent happened when the family’s toddler reached for his chew. The injury was not serious, but her parents quite rightly had it checked at hospital as a precaution.
Rocco needs someone who can read canine body language, respect his boundaries and allow trust to develop naturally.
Both dogs travel well in the car. Scarlett can become anxious if completely alone but is comfortable when Rocco is with her.
HEALTH
SCARLETT URGENTLY NEEDS CANCER SURGERY! And she cannot have this with her current family.
She has previously had low-grade mast cell tumours removed and now needs further surgery. We urgently need a warm, comfortable foster home where she can recover properly afterwards.
Rocco has ongoing eye problems and needs eye drops, previous specialist eye treatment/surgery and is partially sighted. His family also feel he may have some hearing loss.
He can panic at the vets and react defensively if anyone, especially the vet, tries to handle him, so he usually requires sedation for anything hands-on at the vet. At home, treats work well and he is used to having eye drops applied.
WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW
We urgently need a temporary foster home for Rocco and Scarlett together for a maximum of eight weeks.
THEIR CURRENT FAMILY CANNOT KEEP THEM ANY LONGER.
Their foster home needs to be calm, warm and secure, with a safe garden and someone comfortable giving Rocco space and respecting his boundaries. It must also be suitable for Scarlett to recover after surgery.
Ideally there would be no other dogs or cats, although the right carefully managed home may be considered.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THEIR FOREVER HOME.
LIFELONG SANCTUARY FOSTER
Once this immediate emergency is over, our hope is to find them a permanent home through the Paws2Freedom Sanctuary Foster Scheme, where they can stay together for the rest of their lives with ongoing rescue support.
Adoption may also be possible if this is the preferred option and, after discussion with us, we all feel it is the right arrangement for Rocco and Scarlett.
LOCATION
They are currently in a different part of the UK, but they need to be moved to Cornwall, Devon or along the Devon/Somerset border, asap.
IMPORTANT
Due to distance, Paws2Freedom has not yet personally met or assessed Rocco and Scarlett. Current information comes from their family and veterinary history, and we may learn more once they are in our care.

We really do need help now. We just need somewhere warm, safe and kind where Scarlett can recover and we can stay together while Paws2Freedom finds our forever sanctuary home.
PLEASE HELP US IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
Lots of love, Rocco & Scarlett xx
