Scooter is a sweet boy, a senior lab mix with special needs, blind from cataracts. PCF was called about Scooter’s urgent situation when his owner passed away suddenly, leaving him alone and in a home that was to be bulldozed by the landowner. Scooter had been his owner’s sidekick, accompanying him everywhere, and missed him terribly. His owner’s family, unable to take him in, drove back and forth from another county to care for Scooter and his feline companion so that he could remain at home until a new home was found. PCF immediately spread the word about Scooter through rescue networks, hoping to find a home for him to go directly into so that he would not have the added stress of being a blind dog in a kennel. Scooter found a forever home with a woman who fosters and adopts senior and special needs dogs. He is on a diet, working on achieving a healthy weight, learning to play with the other dogs (he didn’t know how!), and will be receiving cataract surgery to restore his sight in the near future!
