Notes: Poor little Scooter, he just cannot find the right family to give him a chance at a forever home. Scooter is back again because he only seems to bond with one person in the home (usually the female) and does not want to interact with anyone else. Scooter would do best in a home with a single lady who would love to have a cute little sidekick. He is dog and cat friendly and housetrained. Scooter is about 2-3 years old, Chihuahua Mix, 17 pounds, leash trained and already neutered

This little guy has not had a great start in life. He was a product of a severe hoarding case with no socialization skills at all. Our shelter volunteers and staff worked diligently with Scooter for months and he has come so far to not find the perfect home. Scooters special lady is out there somewhere and if you fit the profile to give this little gentleman a home, phone 276-452-1325.
