Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Scooter is looking for his FOREVER HOME! We rescued this sweetheart last week from Taylor County Animal Control. This little guy has had a terrible first year of life. He found himself at shelter 6 months ago as a puppy when his owner went to jail. The neighbors came and claimed him to keep until his owner got out of jail but that didn’t happen so now they surrendered him back to the shelter, and he was scared and confused. (His name was K2 after a drug and he does not trust new people so you can imagine the life he has had this far). He was very spicy at the shelter and also at the vet, but is doing AMAZING in his foster home!! He will growl when first meeting new people but once he knows you which only takes a few minutes. He relaxes and is a sweetheart. He wants to be right on someone’s lap all the time. We are hoping to find him a quiet home with someone who is willing to be patient with him and show him that he can trust people again. He has bonded very fast to his foster parents and will bond quickly with his FOREVER!! Scooter is a 1 year old Chihuahua mix and weighs 9 pounds. He has been to the vet and is now neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and up to date with shots. He was not potty trained at first, but is doing great now and hasn’t had an accident in a couple days. He is dog friendly and loves to go for walks and sits nicely waiting for his harness to be put on. He is in a loving foster home in Beverly Hills, Florida. If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy please go to our website at rescuedogsdream.com and complete an application. Background check, reference and vet checks will be completed prior to meeting.
