My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Scooter came to our shelter by way of our friends at Peach County Animal Rescue in Georgia. Before that, Scooter was picked up by animal control in a rough area of Macon, Georgia where children were throwing rocks at him and screaming obscenities. We can only imagine the fear Scooter must have felt.

Scooter is incredibly smart. He is a quick learner and is very loyal to those he trusts. Because of his abusive past, Scooter needs an adult home that will be sure he gets plenty of positive reinforcement, training, and exercise. Scooter would be a fantastic running and/or hiking partner. He plays well with other dogs at our shelter and could learn a lot from a well balanced canine companion.

Scooter has had professional training and is doing beautifully. He is still attending classes and has really blossomed into a fabulous dog- for the right home that will continue training and working him. Scooter LOVES having a job!

Scooter is about 4 years old. He is a true mixed breed. We're guessing he is a mix of working breed and herding breed. He is neutered; vaccinated for rabies, distemper, and bordetella; and microchipped with a lifetime registration. He tested negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases and is current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
