Scooter was surrendered to BDRA by his owners when they had to move to an apartment that would not allow them to bring him along. He is a sweet, loving dog that loves to sit in your lap and give kisses. He lives with 2 bigger dogs and is doing fine with them. He can be nervous with people when he first meets them, but within a few minutes warms up quickly! Within a day at his foster home he was acting like he always lived there! He was hit by a car when he was 3, so his tail is paralyzed. This is not anything that affects his health or happiness in any way! He goes to the bathroom normally, and is completely housebroken-no accidents in the house at all. He has met many kids and does great with them. He has a grade 1 heart murmur, which is nothing to worry about. He is healthy and happy and loves to run around the yard. He is an escape artist, so care must be given to watch the door when you're coming and going. He's a fast little guy! He loves to lay in the window and watch the world go by. He can definitely see. He will be going to the ophthalmologist on July 28. He will be neutered on August 3. He is a sweet little guy who charms everyone he meets.
