Scooter $400

Meet Scooter! I'm a 7‐year‐old, 25lb Havanese mix with a clean bill of health. I recently lost my owner & I'm still adjusting. I'm looking for a quiet home where I can be the only dog & soak up all the attention. I would do best with someone who works from home or who is home often.<br/><br/>My adoption profile gets a lot of attention (because let's face it, I'm adorable) but underneath my good looks, I'm an anxious guy that gets quite overwhelmed in new environments & around new people. It can take me several weeks to fully warm up in a new home. I need someone who is patient and experienced with skittish dogs like me & will give me the time and space I need to settle in. The anxiety meds I'm on as well as a few drops of Rescue Remedy that get added to my water every day are helping a lot.<br/><br/>Affection & playtime are on my terms, especially in the beginning. But once you've earned my trust (and you'll work hard for it), I'm a real sweetheart that will follow you around until it's time to snuggle up for the night. I love to nap and lounge the day away and although I don't require a whole lot of exercise, I do enjoy a couple daily walks. I also enjoy running zoomies around the yard and rough housing with my foster mom on the couch. I might be an older pooch but I still have plenty of energy and will need an adopter that can keep up.<br/><br/>I'm a smart boy who's treat motivated and I would benefit greatly from learning a few more commands or tricks to increase my confidence. Like most anxious dogs, I need a pack leader that is loving but firm, so I don't regress in my behavior. I was recently trained to wait in my "spot" until the humans are done eating their meals, then I'm rewarded with a yummy treat. They were impressed with how quickly I caught on.<br/><br/>I sleep soundly through the night (preferably next to you), and I'll go potty outside as I'm supposed to. With an established routine, accidents are no issue. I get along fine with friendly dogs but I don't care to engage much; I prefer to be near my humans. Cats are unknown but I'd probably just ignore them, too. Since smaller children make me nervous, older dog savvy kids only please.<br/><br/>If you think you'll be my perfect match, apply to meet me today!<br/><br/>DATCP #483538
