My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

It's time for a very special introduction....our sweet, special boy Samson, or as his foster family calls him... Scooter â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Scoot came to the rescue in February of 2023 as a puppy. He's an extra special guy with some extra special needs.

He's mostly paralyzed in the back end and is also incontinent...but let us tell you, that doesn't slow him down one bit! He is silly and playful and extra sweet.

Upon entering his foster home, Scoot started hydrotherapy, which has helped him immensely. He's able to use his back legs some but mostly scoots around and still needs a wheelchair for walks and outings.

In addition, Scooter went to a neurologist in Columbus so we could figure out what caused this and if it was fixable. We got our answer pretty quickly... Neosporosis.

Neospora is a parasite that was passed to him in utero from his mom. It paralyzes muscles. He started antibiotics immediately to kill the parasite and keep it from doing further damage. We can't fix Scoot, he is how he is...which is PERFECT!

Scooter takes daily meds to help with his urinary incontinence, probiotics, and a joint supplement.

He is loved beyond measure in his foster home, even though he's a little "extra." However, the time has come to let him spread his wings and fly in his forever home â¤ï¸

Samson is great with other dogs, kids and cats. Apply today!
