Imagine this: It’s Christmas Day. A time for warmth, family, and joy. But for a tiny, 6-month-old dog named Scooter, Christmas 2024 was anything but. Alone, abandoned in Nashville, he was found dragging his back legs.
The heartbreaking truth? He’d been shot. Pellets riddled his body, leaving him paralyzed.
Just let that sink in for a moment. A puppy, facing such cruelty, all by himself. It’s the kind of gut-wrenching news that makes you wonder about humanity.
But here’s where the story takes a turn, a defiant, hopeful turn. Because even after such a horrific ordeal, Scooter didn’t give up. No, sir.
This little warrior found a loving foster home through Wags and Walks, and he started to heal.

He might not regain full control of his back legs, but don’t you dare call him broken. Scooter is thriving. He’s playing fetch, exploring his world with a determination that puts most of us to shame.
With the help of a custom wheelchair and dedicated physical therapy, he’s showing everyone what true resilience looks like.
He’s a reminder that even after the darkest moments, hope persists. That love can truly heal. Now, this incredible, courageous pup is looking for his forever family.
Someone who sees beyond the chair, beyond the past, and sees the boundless love and spirit within him. If you’ve ever wanted to witness a miracle, to welcome pure, unadulterated strength into your home, then Scooter might just be waiting for you.
