Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 1-year-old Scooter.

Here is Baypath’s description of Scooter:

“Meet Scooter, a young, just-under-40-pound pup with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. He’s playful, curious and loves being part of the action — whether that’s exploring the outdoors, playing with toys, or hanging out near his people.

“Scooter’s favorite things include squeaky toys — the noisier, the better — and getting out for walks and adventures. He walks well on leash and enjoys exploring new sights and smells. He’s also a social guy who does well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine friend or regular playdates.

“Like many young pups, Scooter will do best with an adopter who’s ready to provide structure, consistency and positive reinforcement training to help him continue building confidence and manners. With the right routine and engagement, he’s the kind of dog who can grow into an awesome, well-rounded companion.

“If you’re looking for a fun-loving, active buddy to join you for walks, playtime and everyday life, Scooter could be your match.”
