The note said that the dog’s name was Scooter. Apparently, his owner Eric Dugwyler had been arrested for narcotics possession the night before. He did not want to give Scooter over to the police, so he left him with his two friends who were present. His friends then abandoned Scooter once the cops took Eric away.
Blanca decided she would take the story to Facebook and sent out a message to the Lost and Found Pets in Columbia page, pleading for someone to help. The plea was answered by the operator of South Eastern Homeless Animals shelter, Paula Langford.

Paula is now taking care of Scooter. She is hoping that soon enough she can offer him to a loving family that wants to raise him on their own. He’s full of love and affection, and anyone would be lucky to have him as a pet.
Blanca and her cousin were interviewed by local reporters after the ordeal. They wanted people to know what had happened to Scooter, and hopefully prevent something like it from occurring again.
Hopefully, someone adopts Scooter soon. He’s a great dog that was, fortunately, found just in time.

As much as I hate to say it, at least the pups owner tied it in shade, in a place where she’s gonna be seen, and a note. It could have been so much worse! People dumping animals in dumpsters, starving and torturing them before they leave them mostly dead, just horrible stories. This cute pup I’m sure will find a home.

Owner may have loved it and the dog will probably miss him to a degree. But the doggie needs a loving good home.

Someone could take this dog and use it for bait in dog fights or a weirdo who tortures animals. People don’t give animals away. At least in a shelter people are screened. These owners didn’t want to pay the shelter.
