Description:
Scooter is such a sweetie! He is doing well in the foster home. He is fully vetted and has been well cared for - sadly his owners could not care for him any longer and they made the tough decision to give him up. We will find the perfect fur-ever home for this boy. Scooter is a lovable and charming boy with a playful side. He loves snuggling on the couch with his humans and enjoys a good game of fetch or tug-of-war with his toys. When he's craving attention, he’s not shy about speaking up, guiding you to whatever he desires—whether it’s a toy, treat, or even a walk around the block. During the day, he likes to sit by the front window, observing the cars, dogs, and kids passing by. Scooter is a smart dog who’s learned to use the dog door, but he’s also trained to ring a bell when he needs to go outside. He gets along well with medium to large dogs, though his interactions with cats and smaller dogs are unknown. While he’s making great strides in his training, there are a few behavioral quirks we're working on. If he’s resting near his human and they move or touch him, he will startle and bark, so we gently speak to him before we make a move. Scooter is also not fond of nail trims, ear cleanings, or having his nose touched, and he requires a moderate sedative for these vet visits. Despite these challenges, the vet has seen significant improvement in his behavior. Scooter will thrive best with a patient and understanding owner who can continue to work with him, helping him to build on his progress.After reading our adoption information, if you are ready to take the next steps, please fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION.
