This is the tale of Scooter and Lexi and how they came to share a home together.\u00a0 When Scooter (a basset\/beagle mix) needed a new forever home Basset Rescue of Old Dominion took him aboard.\u00a0 Eventually he moved to Cumberland MD to live with a mild-mannered chaplain.\u00a0 Scooter himself was mild mannered at the time except when left alone.\u00a0 Then his separation anxiety kicked in and he caused a lot of damage and worse yet, risked injury to himself.\u00a0 After his new owner tried several comfort tools to no avail, he decided to look for a companion for Scooter.<\/p>\n

This is where Lexi enters the picture.\u00a0 She was living at the Allegany County MD Animal Shelter where her owners surrendered her.\u00a0 She is a schnauzer\/terrier mix.\u00a0 She was one of 4 dogs the shelter people thought would be good companions for Scooter.<\/p>\n

Scooter having been in a shelter previously, would not interact with any of the dogs because he was afraid he was being left behind.\u00a0 So, the mild-mannered chaplain picked Lexi out of the team of 4 ladies.<\/p>\n

She was the right choice!\u00a0 From the moment they arrived home they interacted peacefully with each other.\u00a0 The first full day they were alone, there was no damage in the house!!\u00a0 There has no damage for over a week!!<\/p>\n

So out of one dog\u2019s anxiety about being left alone, two dogs have found each other and now live where they know they are loved.<\/p>\n
