Sweet Scooter, a Playful Pup Ready for His Forever Home

Scooter is a 10-month-old Miniature Poodle who has come to us from a breeder to find the kind and patient forever home he truly deserves. This little lad arrived very overwhelmed, having seen very little of the world. Everything about home life is still very new to him, but he has made wonderful progress in his foster home.

Scooter is currently in foster care where he shares his home with several other dogs, both male and female, and his brother, Shinta, who arrived with him. The two boys have a lovely bond and enjoy spending their days playing chase, tumbling around together, and curling up for naps. We would be happy to home them together if the right home came along, but Scooter could also be rehomed separately as long as he has at least one kind and confident resident dog to help him continue to build his confidence and show him the ropes.

In his foster home, Scooter has learned to walk nicely on a lead and enjoys his walks with the other dogs. He has even started going off lead in safe areas and has good recall. Like any young pup, Scooter is full of energy, playfulness, and mischief, so his new family will need to continue working on his training and help guide him as he grows and matures.

As Scooter came from a breeder, he has never lived in a home before coming into foster care. His adopters will need to continue supporting him with house training, confidence building, and learning about all the sights and sounds of home life. He will also need someone who is home much of the time to continue his training and help him feel secure.

When he first arrived, Scooter was very matted and uncomfortable, but after a much-needed groom, he is now feeling much happier. He did have some sore skin, but with gentle care, this has been improving and will continue to heal over time.

Scooter is a sweet and gentle soul who would thrive in a calm, adult-only home where his adopters can offer him patience, love, and plenty of positive experiences. With the right support, Scooter will blossom into a wonderful companion who will bring so much joy to his new family.

As Scooter arrived from Ireland, he comes with his travel documentation.
