Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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

Skooter has been part of our family for over 6 years. My brother and sister-in-law adopted him at about a year and a half old, as a playmate for his 'sister' Ginger and my nephew Alec. Skooter iand Ginger are very bonded and hope to remain together.

My sister-in-law and brother have both passed away, about 18 months apart. I moved into their house with my nephew, Alec, and both dogs in October of 2021. Our circumstances are now changing, and we cannot keep the dogs.

Skooter is very loving, playful, protective, assertive, and friendly. He loves everyone, especially if they give him a treat. He may do well with other dogs by himself.

Skooter is fearful of loud noises- thunder, fireworks, gun shots. He barks and whines at dogs or people walking by, and doesn't like animals in his yard.

He may have separation anxiety - gets very excited whenever we come home.

Skooter loves to be brushed, does not like baths, and does okay with the vet. He has been to groomers.in the past.
