Scooter

Meet Scooter, a senior Chihuahua with a youthful spirit. We estimate him to be around 10 years old but it's hard to know for sure due to his previous rough way of life. He came into foster care in terrible condition, with little hair, lots of fleas, and lots of fear. He has slowly learned to trust his foster mom while his hair grew back and his belly grew bigger. Scooter is an independent soul and really enjoys his personal space. He is not a lap dog or a cuddle buddy, but he does make for great company. Scooter can usually be found on a fluffy dog bed or in his crate with the door open. He is fairly low energy but occasionally he does get the zoomies. Recently he has started to learn to play with other dogs and is building his confidence up every day. He lives with dogs of all sizes but seems to do best with small-medium dogs that he can keep up with. Scooter is doing much better with house training and it helps that he enjoys spending time outside. He likes to find a warm sunny spot to nap in, usually on the sidewalk or a patio. It would be best for him to have a confined outdoor space to let him get some fresh air and enjoy the weather. Scooter is looking for a calm, loving home where he can be part of a family and make up for his previous life of solitude. His ideal family will understand his need for personal space but still appreciate his company. If you've been looking for a low energy but adorable little guy to have around, right here he is! Adopt Scooter and you'll not only gain a loyal friend, but you'll also give this sweet senior the loving home he deserves. Scooter has been neutered, microchipped and kept current on vaccines and preventatives.
