Amelia’s story begins on a lonely stretch of road in Spring Branch - the very one she’s named after. For months, she and a small group of abandoned dogs tried to survive on the hot concrete of an apartment parking lot, sleeping in ditches and relying on the kindness of two incredible women who showed up every day, morning and night, with food and water. Through the blistering 100+ degree Houston summer, Amelia somehow held on. But her gentle world was shattered when a group of young men began taunting and kicking the dogs for sport. One day, terrified and crying out in pain, Amelia ran for her life, her rescuer heard her screams from inside her home. That was the moment Scout’s Honor stepped in. Today, Amelia is safe. She’s about 1–2 years old, a petite shepherd mix with soulful eyes and a heart full of forgiveness. Though she’s still limping from the abuse she endured, we’re getting her checked right away and hope it’s only a soft tissue injury. Despite everything, Amelia greets each new day with quiet hope. It’s clear this sweet girl has never had anything of comfort, not a bed, a soft touch, a toy, or a home to call her own. She’s learning everything new: what it means to have people who love her, toys to play with, and a safe place to rest her head. More than anything, she just wants to be loved. If you’re ready to give Amelia the life she’s always deserved, filled with safety, tenderness, and belonging. apply to foster or adopt her at www.scoutshonor.org. Because sometimes, the road that once broke your heart becomes the one that leads you home.
