Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Scout is a young pup (less than 1 year) and weighs 50 pounds. She still acts like a puppy in many ways but is very eager to please and responds well to structure. Scout loves affection and attention from her foster humans but with 3 other dogs in the house, she is never the one who gets to snuggle on the couch.
She plays well with the young dogs in her foster home and respects the dominance of her elder dog even though Scout is more than twice her size. One of her foster sisters is a very anxious girl and Scout just leaves her alone. She has had one experience with cats and she was very much afraid of them.
Her foster mom works at home but Scout goes down for naps in her crate for several hours in the afternoon with her doggie foster siblings. She is also crated at night. She enjoys spending time in the fenced yard, quietly entertaining herself and relaxing in the fresh air.
Scout is a very intelligent dog and has learned so much in the short time she has been a foster dog. She is a good loose leash walker although loud cars and motorcycles excite her. She will make an outstanding companion to someone who can provide her with love and structure.
Scout is a very special dog and she is a real beauty!
