Puppy hugs teddy bear as he struggles to stay alive after choking on kibble

Scarlett is an adorable puppy rescued by Simi Valley Missing Pets. And then from there, she found wonderful foster parents, Brittany and Robbie Jacalone. Everything was going well for this cute pup. But on the night of February 23, something bad happened. Scarlett choked on her kibble and stopped breathing.

Everything happened so fast. Her foster parents acted quickly, clearing her throat and doing CPR while they were in the car rushing to the vet. When they got to the vet, they were informed that Scarlett had a slim chance of survival.

The vet was able to stabilize Scarlett’s condition. She was placed in a pressured oxygen bed to recover. And as she was bravely fighting for her life, she hugged her teddy bear for comfort.

Scarlett’s foster parents were crushed. They feared their puppy would not survive. Plus, they were told that Scarlett was too sick to transfer to another vet. They did not have any money and to keep her at that vet for one more night, they need $4,000.

Amazingly, some good Samaritans came to their aid. Donations poured in at Scarlett’s funding page, reaching over $11,000! And with the donations, her foster parents were able to pay the vet bill to save Scarlett’s life.

On February 29, Scarlett was released and picked up from the animal hospital by her foster parents. They had been with her through it all, visiting her every day.

And in the end, Scarlett became a foster failure. Yup! Scarlett’s foster parents fell in love with her and decided that they’re not gonna let her go.

We are so happy for you, Scarlett! You finally found your forever home! You went through a lot, you were a fighter, and you survived! And now you have a loving, forever family! It’s a happy ending after all!
