Scooter

Scooter is 12 weeks old in these pictures taken February 25, 2008. She and her three siblings, Hammy, Tipper, and Piglet, as well as their mom, Zoe, are in foster homes.

Mom, Zoe, had always been kept out on a chain with little protection and sometimes no food or water. The neighbors would watch out for her and helped by giving food and water. Zoe was taken in by those same neighbors when they noticed that her owners had just left her when they moved.

Zoe was pregnant and gave birth to the four puppies (Tipper, Scooter, Hammy, and Piglet) on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007. The neighbors are keeping her and two of her puppies until we can place them. An LP volunteer has the other two puppies until we can place them.

From Scooter and Hammy's foster parents - January 31, 2008
Scooter is a very sweet, strong willed pup. She comes flying when you call her name!

She loves to run and play with Hammy and their favorite thing is to play tug of war with toys or whatever they can find. They both get along with our Jack Russell, Boxer Pit mix, Manchester Terrier and Irish Setter. The kitten loves to play with them and the other 4 cats are used to them and they all get along. The pups both love to get their tummies rubbed and we also rub their feet and mouth area so they won't mind the vet so much. The first time in the snow they rolled and ran in it and just loved it. They enjoy going outside each day and do go potty outside. They also go potty inside because we are gone for 12 hours a day, but they normally go on the newspapers in their kenel area in the garage. We will start walking them on a leash soon!
