History: Scooter is some type of Husky/ Malamute mix, neutered and up to date on his shots/ vetting. First advertised on Craig's List because his family had a baby in the house and they were worried that they were not giving Scooter the time and attention he craves. They did say that he tried to play with the baby and that was making them nervous, plus he seemed somewhat jealous. The previous owner stated he was always underfoot and just getting yelled at for being there...she didn't want to turn a good dog into a bad dog by being negligent. Scooter was born 10-20-03 at the Humane Society in St. Paul. He was the only long haired puppy in the litter and was adopted by a family that lives in a town setting. They said that Scooter was mostly an inside dog, but they would keep him on a 40' lead when he was outside. They sometimes would take him up North to the cabin for canoeing and outdoor adventures. Scooter was an only child for his 6 years and he comes with a lot of accessories.
