Meet Scooter - courtesy post

Scooter is just a plain, ordinary dog. Being ordinary may cost him his life.
Scooter is one of thousands of unwanted dogs in Colorado, and faces heading to an overfull shelter in Denver. We courtesy posted Scooter back in April, for the nice elderly people who took him in when his owner became too ill to care for him. He has gotten not even one inquiry, and they are faced with taking him into the Denver shelter. They thought they could find him a home themselves, but he’s just a plain looking dog. Nothing fancy. He sheds. Dogs like this for a dime a dozen right now.
Not to be grim, but he’ll probably sit in the shelter until he experiences such intense kennel stress that the only humane thing to do would be to euthanize him. Here is Scooter’s bio:
“Scooter is a wonderful 2-year-old, 48 lb. mixed breed boy who’s looking for a new home, with an active adopter who can take him out on lots of fun adventures. He loves hikes and long walks. He has a fantastic temperament: and gets along with other (ideally smaller) dogs.
He’s playful, housetrained, and is a very smart boy.
Scooter has had a lot of change in his life. His original person had health issues and was unable to take care of him. After moving around a lot, he’s currently living in a foster situation with kind people who knew his previous owner.
Scooter likes to train and will need continued training on his leash skills.
A fenced yard or land would be ideal. He will need an experienced person, familiar with active dogs (according to his fosters).
Most of all, Scooter would love a home where he can find stability, be loved and be the center of someone's world.”

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
