hat happened to him or his background. We just know this is not the way for him to live. Scooter is completely paralyzed in his back legs.
He needs:
 A wheelchair
 Regular medical follow-up
 A committed, experienced home that can handle the demands of a special needs dog. Scooter gets along well with other dogs but he gets easily overstimulated and doesn’t always respect other dogs’ boundaries. A dog-savvy, pet-free home (or one with very tolerant animals) is ideal. Scooter eats and uses the bathroom on his own, however he needs assistance and a lot of cleaning up to maintain him clean. And here’s the most heartbreaking part:
Because the shelter is over capacity with dogs, Scooter spends almost all day in a crate. He hates it. He cries. He’s mentally and emotionally shutting down and this is no life for a dog who’s already lost so much. We are pleading for a rescue or an exceptionally responsible adopter who can commit to giving Scooter not just a home, but a real chance at life. All Perth Amboy Animal Shelter residents will be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. You must be 23 or older to adopt from the shelter, complete an Adoption Application and pay the associated adoption fee. The application must be approved by the shelter staff and all adoptions are finalized based on the best interests of our animals. Come visit us Monday - Friday between 10am and 4pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am - 3pm. Contact us at (732) 324-3877 and don't forget to ask about our Foster Program!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
