Meet Scooter (GA) - The Little Dog With the Big ComebackScooter is only four months old, but he's already shown more courage than most dogs need in a lifetime. When he came into rescue, he was fighting for every breath. He had suffered severe head trauma, his tiny body swollen and bleeding, and one of his eyes so damaged it could not be saved. No puppy should ever endure that kind of pain. And yet... Scooter held on. Thanks to emergency surgery and roundtheclock care, this brave WireHaired Jack Russell Terrier mix is finally on the other side of the worst. He's healing, he's safe, and for the first time, he's discovering what it feels like to be loved. Even with one eye, Scooter sees the world with astonishing joy. He's sweet, affectionate, and full of that classic terrier spark-energetic, curious, and always ready to bounce into your arms. He adores people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and has a heart that seems to grow bigger every day. Scooter will continue recovering over the next couple of weeks, but his spirit is already shining. What he needs now is a forever family who will cherish him not in spite of his past, but because of the incredible little survivor he is. If you've been waiting for a dog who will love you with every ounce of his being, Scooter is waiting right back. Apply to adopt Scooter (GA) at: www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.
