NOTE: SCOOTER IS AT THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER IN SANTA MARIA, CA, AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE EUTHANIZED (DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS) ON MARCH 20, 2026. GSRSV HAS NOT MET SCOOTER. WE ARE LISTING HIM ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO. "Scooter" is an 84-lb, nearly 2-yo neutered male GSD mix in urgent need of adoption (or rescue) at the Santa Barbara County animal shelter in Santa Maria. Scooter came intot he shelter on Feb 6, and due to space constraints, is now scheduled to be euthanized if not adopted before Feb 20. Scooter is full of energy and love. He is a very people-oriented dog who wants to say hi to everyone he meets. Scooter would do best as an only dog. He is a little testy with other dogs (needs more socialization) and is NOT good with cats. Scooter needs an experienced GSD owner who understands the breed's exercise, training, and companionship requirements — he is a classic “Velcro” dog. Scooter was previously in a foster home where he did well with all the people there but not so well with the other animals. His foster family cared deeply about him and wants to see him placed in an appropriate, loving home. Scooter’s former foster caretaker, Drew Porter, is willing to transport Scooter to locations far from Santa Maria.
