Scooter's Five Month Anniversary!

My boyfriend and I adopted Scooter at the Carson Animal Shelter and have felt so thankful to have found him every since. It's been five months since he came into our lives and it's been such an amazing and rewarding experience. His transformation from his first day, so scared of his new environment and unsure of what's to be of him now that his prior family surrendered him, to his playful, cuddly, loyal, and devoted self now. He is seriously the most amazing dog I have ever met, and I might be biased because he is my furry baby ;)


I could go on and on and on about him but it's late, and I want to get some reading done before sleeping so I'll make this post short and sweet, just like my Scooter sweetie pie <3


At the Carson Animal Shelter, one day after his prior family surrendered him, on 12/19/11:

First day at our home on 12/21/11, a bit drowsy from the neutering surgery he had earlier that day:

First haircut, ready to start his new life, got rid of all of his old fur, on 1/10/12 (look at those turkey legs! wahhh, so adorable!!):

February through May monthly picture to be continued on next post :)

And you can also browse online for pets (http://animalcare.lacounty.gov/AdoptSearch.asp) but FYI, Scooter was inaccurately listed as a Pekingnese breed and his picture did not do him justice. He is the cutest thing ever but his shelter picture posted online didn't show his cuteness as much, so it's worth to visit the shelter in person:
