My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Forty’s journey to safety is nothing short of heroic. This young shepherd mix was saved by an HPD Tactical Team during a tense robbery standoff. When the suspect, barricaded in his trailer, cruelly used Forty as a hostage—suspending her by a chain leash and choking her repeatedly—officers held back only out of concern for greater risks. Over 30 harrowing minutes, they planned her rescue while enduring the heartbreaking sight of her being choked and thrashed.

Finally, when the suspect stepped into view, officers acted swiftly, using a less-lethal round to disarm him and cutting the chain to free Forty. Despite her ordeal, this resilient pup sprang to life and immediately sought comfort from her rescuers.

Forty is now safe in our program, thanks to a caring HPD officer who brought her to us, just like they did with another dog in need, Lisbeth. She’s 6-9 months old, likely around 30-40 pounds fully grown, and has the adorable ears and face of a German Shepherd. Despite her tough past, she’s a gentle sweetheart who’s learning to play with other dogs and adjust to a loving life. She’s mostly crate-trained and ready for a foster or forever home where she can truly thrive.

Can you be the hero to help Forty’s story end with love? Foster or adopt this special girl today!

Go meet their pets

Scout's Honor Rescue does not currently have its own facility to keep the animals in its adoption program. All animals in our program are fostered by individuals who keep the dog or cat at their residence until it is adopted. Consider opening your home to a dog or cat in need. You become the caregiver to a precious animal – their future is in your hands! It is incredibly rewarding to know that you have given that animal the two most precious gifts- Life and Love. For many of them, this is the first kind hand they have known.
