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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
