About this Dog
SCOOTER NEEDS OUT This is Scooter He was found as a stray in Perth Amboy dragging his back legs, paralyzed, and completely alone. We don’t know what 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.

Adopt Scooter - Special Needs and Receive Scooter - Special Needs's Fund

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Scooter - Special Needs, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Scooter - Special Needs's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Scooter - Special Needs was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Scooter - Special Needs’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Scooter - Special Needs’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Scooter - Special Needs’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
