**Scooter will be available for adoption at Rosedale Mills, located in Pennington, NJ, over the Sept 29-Oct 1 weekend**

Scooter was among nine dogs that were left alone at their former house after their owners moved away. When we arrived at the home, we found the nine dogs living in filthy conditions, terrified and covered in fleas. Scooter was so badly infested with fleas that half of his fur had been scratched out. He also appeared to be in shock from the ordeal that he had just went thru.

Over the past couple of years, SoCo had helped this same family with their dogs, providing food and care for their dogs. Scooter's mom, Muffy, had produced a couple of litters and we were allowed to rescue all of the pups except for Scooter. His time in this house has left him somewhat timid and un-trusting of humans at first. 

Regardless of Scooter's past life and timid nature, he's a very friendly fellow and has never shown any aggressive behavior. Yes, he will make you earn his trust, but who could blame him after what he's been through. Once that trust is earned, you'll see a very great fellow and a very loving dog

Scooter has now been neutered, had all of his vaccinations renewed and started on his monthly flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. He also recently tested negative for heart worms
