SCAMPER – 10520
Safe - 10-24-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 10/24/17 Scamper is a super cute scamp! Meet him today @MACC! Meet Scamper: Scamper is a super cute, super friendly little scamp! He can eat on his own but does have a head tilt. This could be a result of a number of different things, so we aren’t completely sure how the ataxia and head tilt will affect him long term, but he would love a nice home to call his own!
