    Scooter is a 3-month old special needs Jack Russell/Basenji mix. He was born with a birth defect where his patellas (knees) are backwards and fused. He has no use of his back legs. He is full of life and has a HUGE heart! He should be named Flier as he flies around the house more than scoots! He gets along with other dogs, cats and loves children. He needs a furever home with someone who has the time and patience to handle his special needs. He has had his shots, an ortho consult and will be neutered. he is also being fitted for a wheelchair. There will be a rehoming fee. If you are interested in helping Scooter, please email for more info.

  • Oh! That little dear life needs someone who loves him wholeheartedly and looks past his physical challenges. He will make someone a wonderful pet and will enrich their hearts in ways they never thought possible. Wishing you the very best, little Scooter, in your search for a new 'furever' home.

    Awww. Such a cute little girl. I think that we would be a good foster for a dog like her, or one of the FL dogs. We have experience working with pathologically shy dogs. We have an already established relationship with a great local trainer, and with a veterinary behaviorist. We have 3 dogs here to help with the socialization. But we have 3 dogs, and a fourth coming within the year. I'm afraid my heart is bigger than what we can really handle. I'm also afraid because there is no guarantee she will be adopted. If I knew it was short-term, and she could go to another place after a few months of work, I would be much more inclined to jump at the chance to foster. But, with the cats we foster, one has been here a year (tomorrow will be a year actually), and another we finally gave in and adopted after 2 years of swearing we wouldn't. The "normal" cats get adopted quickly (we have had about 10 go through our house, with the longest staying 6 mos.), but the behavior cases that need socialization and desensitization/counter conditioning work tend to stay. We have only had 2 foster dogs, and they were great and found great homes, but we are running out of friends to convince to adopt dogs. :) -Nicole
