Scooter . . . The REST of the Story

Scooter was discovered as a stray on someone’s porch. He was starving, and had a fractured hip. A shelter in Illinois took him in and had a Vet confirm the fractured hip. The shelter knew they could not afford to help him, so they contacted CILRA. We brought Scooter into a wonderful foster home and they nursed him back to health. He had hip surgery to repair the fracture, was in rehab for quite some time, and also spent time on an underwater treadmill.

Scooter never complained and always seemed happy. He adored his 4 foster “Moms” – yellow female Labs, two of whom were momma dogs that CILRA had rescued from a puppy mill. After he healed, Scooter (now Murphy or Murph) was adopted by a wonderful family who were at home during the day. He loved them but was lonely for his ‘Moms’. His new family adopted a second Lab from CILRA to keep him company. Duchess is a sweet 5 year old Lab who Murphy loves to cuddle with. Murphy and Duchess are now living their best lives with a family who adores them.
Don’t we love these kinds of Happy Endings?? Murph and Duchess sure do!
