Pets of the Week: Scooter & Willy
Take me home! Photo by the Lange Foundation.
Gorgeous Scooter is a 3-year-old Brittany Spaniel mix. Scooter a great-looking dog and has a personality that will melt your heart. He loves to go on long walks and is a really good boy on his leash. Scooter is a sweetheart who greets everyone with a big tail wag and instantly rolls over for his favorite thing: belly rubs! He gets along well with other dogs but would prefer a home without cats and young kids. An active single person or couple that would love having a companion to walk the beach with, stroll the neighborhood or hike in the canyons would be perfect for him.
Scooter is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and up-to-date on flea preventative. An application for Scooter is available at the Lange Foundation website. They require a home check as part of the adoption process. The Lange Foundation adopts within the Southern California area only. Contact the Lange Foundation at info@langefoundation.org or 310-473-5585 to meet Scooter.
Lange Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving impounded companion animals and preparing them for their journey to a new, safe, loving world.
