About Scooter

Scooter is a gentle, kind-hearted Labrador Retriever who wants little more than to have someone to call his own. Returned to the rescue through no fault of his own, he’s still finding his footing after the sudden change. Like a lot of dogs, Scooter needs a little time to settle into new situations, but once he does, he shows his affectionate and loyal nature. He thrives in a calm, patient environment and will repay steady kindness with unwavering devotion. Because he’s still rebuilding his confidence, Scooter isn’t the right fit for homes with young children; he needs a quiet place to truly relax and show his best side. Offer Scooter patience and consistency, and he’ll give you loyalty and love in return. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
