Scooter is a large, energetic German Shepherd mix who is urgently looking for a home. At nearly two years old and 84 pounds, he’s neutered, vaccinated, house trained, and wants nothing more than to be close to his person. Scooter is very people-oriented and loves greeting everyone he meets. He’ll thrive best as an only dog, since he’s still learning to socialize around other dogs and isn’t good with cats. An adopter with German Shepherd experience is essential—he’s loyal and needs the structure and companionship GSDs are known for. Scooter’s foster family says he does wonderfully with all people but struggles with other animals, so being the only pet is best for now. His advocate is willing to arrange transport for a great match, even if you’re not near Santa Maria. If you’re looking for a loving, devoted German Shepherd mix and have experience with the breed, Scooter could be the companion you’ve been searching for. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
