Scooter's Story

Scooter is a booger. Ok, not so much any more but he was for sure! Abandoned in February of 2026, he trusted no one and was ready to snap at anyone who came near him. Made us wonder just what happened to him. Eventually, tho, he became the favorite of the staff and volunteers. Loving, sweet, full of kisses but also ready to revert to being a booger if needed, Scooter still has a bit to go. He does need to be housebroken but he's smart and would be a quick learner. Hard to housebreak in a kennel!! He'd make a wonderful barn / farm dog as he loves being outside and rolling in the grass!! Email ACO@SouthwickMA.gov with any questions! He'll be about 6 years old in October.
