Scooter's Story

Meet Scooter! This cutie came to us with four other pups. They had been living outside since birth. Their owner could no longer care for them. To say they were dirty is an understatement! All dogs were bathed by their fosters and the bath water was black! Scooter is a sweet pup that enjoys the company of other dogs bigger than him and loves people. He would do best in a home that is laid back. He can be a little shy in the beginning but will come out of his shell with a little time and patience. He is good with kids but they move fast so older, dog savvy would be best for him. He looks like a grumpy old man but he is really just a snuggle bug! He has a VERY HIGH prey drive. Absolutely no CATS or older dogs!! If you are considering Scooter you need to know he will not grow out of this and training will not fix it. Scooter neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, Valley Fever negative, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Scooter is approximately 2 years old and weighs 12.8 pounds. To meet Scooter, please fill out the application https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAWP/Dog

Paw Posse Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy

All potential adopters fill out an application. If we feel based off the application that they may be a good fit we do a phone interview. If that goes well we do a meet and greet. If there are other dogs involved they are included in the meet and greet. If that goes well we move to the home inspection. If they pass we can process the application. Sometimes dogs don't mesh the first time meeting. We will set up additional meet and greets for the dogs. There may be things in their home that we ask them to change (storage box by a fence, lock on the gate, barrier at the front door). Once we verify these items repaired/in place we will approve the application. We follow up with our adopters regularly. We ask for updated photos and help with any concerns they may be having.
