Scotch the Dog needs a home
Scotch was originally adopted as a puppy, and thanks to the motto "Once a SAAP dog, always a SAAP dog" when his family fell of hard times and Scotch needed expensive medical care he was able to come back to the rescue. In October 2016 SAAP raised several thousand dollars to pay for a surgery that restored some of Scotch's vision and took away the pain in his eyes. He does not have any vision in his right eye, but the surgery was able to restore most of his vision in the left eye. He's been recovering in his foster home but is now ready to find his forever home. Scotch loves to cuddle with his people or with dog friends to take a nap. Scotch also loves to play with squeaky toys, especially the rubber balls because he's good at destroying the stuffed animals. Scotch enjoys trips to the park to run and play or go for a walk around the neighborhood, but he's a really low energy guy and doesn't require daily exercise. Scotch gives lots of kisses and really just wants to hang out with his family. Scotch needs a family who can commit to keeping up with his medical needs, which are pretty easy to manage. He requires one set of eye drops daily for the rest of his life, as well as twice a year check ups at the Animal Eye Institute. Scotch has luxating patella's that make him walk a little funny, but they don't bother him one bit. He loves to go for walks or run around the park thanks to a daily joint supplement. And he has no trouble jumping up on the couch to cuddle. Lastly, Scotch has allergies and in addition to grain and chicken free food he needs an allergy pill. I stick it in his joint supplement which he loves, and he gobbles it up.
