Scarlett Johansson takes shelter dog on a ‘dream date’ that’s melting the internet’s heart

It’s truly heartwarming when celebrities step off their glamorous pedestals to shine a light on causes that matter.

Thanks to The Dodo, stars take a moment to go on blind dates with rescue dogs, all in the hope of finding these pups a place to call home.

And who better to take part than actress Scarlett Johansson?

In the video below, she takes a 12-year-old pittie mix named Ocean on a “dream date,” and gives her the sweet treatment she deserves.

Scarlett Johansson, who’s very well-known in Hollywood, is showing us a different, more tender side.

When she first meets Ocean, the connection is instant.

Ocean greets her with all the enthusiasm of a long-lost friend, and Scarlett’s response is pure gold.

It’s a reminder that beneath the glitz, there’s genuine kindness.

The actress even brings her some stuffed roses.

Ocean had previously been in an overcrowded shelter, but then was scooped up by NYC’s Muddy Paws Rescue.

The poor girl deserved a day of pampering and to be treated like a queen!

Scarlett told The Dodo:

“So far, the date has been going really well with Ocean. At first, we were both a little shy and a little bit sort of nervous to meet each other, and then I have to say that she warmed up almost immediately, and we’re just getting to know each other now.”

The backdrop for this touching story is Scarlett’s skincare brand office, The Outset.

There’s excitement in the air as the team awaits Ocean’s arrival, ready to meet the day’s true star.

Scarlett’s approach to introducing Ocean to everyone as a star in her own right speaks volumes about her respect and love for rescue animals.

It’s an unforgettable “Dodo Dream Date.”

Amid the fun and games, Scarlett tries to give Ocean a taste of the spa life.

She gets to enjoy dog-friendly products, a mani-pedi, and a dog smoothie.

And what spa day would be complete without cucumbers over your eyes?

But Ocean, ever the spirited soul, decides she has other plans for those cucumbers (she eats them, of course).

This playful exchange shows Ocean’s irresistible charm, making her even more appealing to potential adopters.

But perhaps the best part is that Ocean received tons of snuggles and love.

As their day unfolds, Scarlett’s fondness for Ocean grows, leading her to wonder aloud why such an adorable and loving dog hasn’t been adopted yet.

She had faith though that was all going to change.

“I don’t think you’re going to have any problem finding a forever home because you’re exceptionally adorable, very cuddly, and that’s what we’re all looking for.”

Scarlett’s both a proud mom and a dog mom too.

Having rescued two pups herself, Maggie and Pancake, she truly walks the talk.

Her personal journey with rescue animals lends authenticity to her advocacy, inspiring others to consider making a rescue dog part of their family.
