Description:

Meet Scooter! Now we know the first thing you see with Scooter is his diaper- yep, this guy is special and will need an equally special family, willing to provide him the medical care he requires. Scooter came to Chi Town rescue as an owner surrender, when his owner was no longer able to provide him the care he needed. More on that later, but first let's talk about how ADORABLE Scooter is! Two-year-old Scooter is a friendly and affectionate guy who will rest his head on your leg and melt your heart. He loves attention and pets, and will be an amazing companion dog to join you in watching your favorite sport or tv show. Scooter has a mostly chill energy and gets along with his roommate at rescue. He would love to meet your dog from home to see if they are a match too. As you probably guessed from the diaper, Scooter is incontinent due to partial paralysis in his back end. He "scoots" around just fine on his front legs though, and loves to be wherever you are. Scooter's forever family will need to be willing to keep him clean with multiple diaper changes a day. The good news is, he is used to this process and it's quite quick, with Scooter allowing all handling. Because of his incontinence, Scooter is prone to urinary tract infections and may require antibiotics throughout his lifetime. Scooter's legs are wrapped to protect his skin from further break-down due to the scooting; these bandages need to be changed daily. Scooter is a lot of work, but we find him to be more than worth it. Maybe YOU are Scooter's special person? If you would like to meet him, please contact Chi Town Rescue for a meet and greet by calling 602-526-0842 and/or emailing [email protected].
