Scooter - special needs boy! Pomeranian Mix Woburn, MA

This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.

**Please read Scooter's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

Meet Scooter (AKA Scoot) - a 4 year old, Pomeranian mix, who weighs 10-12 pounds (as of 8/20/24). Sweet Scoot is the happiest boy who was unfortunately run over by a car and has permanent nerve damage to the back of his body. He's unable to control his bodily movements (and wears diapers), but has learned to walk on his front legs and has a wheelchair to help get him around. Now do you see where he gets his name? While the nerve damage cannot be repaired, his disability doesn't slow him down! Scooter is proof that love doesn't need legs to stand strong!

His foster shares: "Scoot has a new wheelchair, but he'd rather just use his front legs to get around. He loves the extra attention he gets from people around him for being a 'wonder dog'. Despite his disability, this boy's spirit runs free and he is rolling through life with grace and a wagging tail. He is hilarious and so fun to have around. He loves to be around kids, but recommend older kiddos because of his disabilities. There is never a dull moment with Scoot! He loves everyone he meets, and loves playing with other dogs. His love for life is infectious and Scooter will bright up every day!"

All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.

Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
