About Scooter
Hi everyone! I’m Scooter, it’s great to meet you!
I’m finally ready to find my forever home and I hope it’s with you!
I haven’t had the best start in life, but with the right family who has time and love for me I’m sure I will thrive.
I would prefer a quiet, calm family where I am the only dog, as I am still a bit cautious of other dogs and would much prefer curling up on a human lap. I do not get along with cats or pocket pets as they look exactly like my toys!
I’m still a bit nervous on the lead and when I leave my comfort bubble, I would love to be able to be with my new family as much as possible and get reassurance that the outside world isn’t so scary. I have had some surgery on one of my legs, so my walks are frequent but relaxing.
I love bones, anything fluffy and doing zoomies after my bath! I come when I’m called, and I am learning to ‘stay’ on command as sitting can be a bit uncomfortable for me.
I would really love to be in a home where I can get lots of cuddles and affection, I’m very affectionate and when I’m good I get to sleep in my foster mum’s bed with her which is my favourite place to sleep!
If it sounds like you are the perfect family for me, then please submit an application!
Medical notes
Two year old Scooter is a typical healthy boy for his age. When he came to us, he was quite nervous and anxious after being in a shelter, and was on some anxiety medication. Since being in care in a home environment, he has gained confidence and no longer needs medication.
In November, he had his right patella repaired and has healed perfectly from his surgery and his other leg is stable and does not require surgery at this stage. We always suggest joint support supplements for dogs who have had joint surgery as they are more prone to arthritis as they age. He is currently taking Paws Osteocare joint chews.
Scooter has recently had a dental scale and polish, with no teeth extracted. He is desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, up to date with flea and tick prevention as well as heart worm and intestinal worm prevention.
