Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Scooby!! Scooby is a 2 year old Black Great Dane that may or may not have some Lab in him.
Scooby came to us very scared of the outside world but was the fastest learner when it came to figuring out it was for the most part safe. Scooby is still learning social cues and will sometimes be uncomfortable around new dogs or people until he knows they are safe. This can sometimes look strange as he will bristle up even though he is not aggressive at all. Once he knows they are safe (about 10 minutes usually) he is good to go and loves running with them.
Scooby needs training and time with people.
Scooby LOVES, well Everything! Life is an adventure to this guy (once the fear is gone). He is very hyper and loves to practice for the next 500K coming up. He is happy to chase those pesty squirrels. Does great with Dogs, and people. Did well with the few times he has seen cats at the vet, but unsure about living with them. He is super athletic and curious.
Scooby’s Back Story: Scooby was purchased as a puppy for a bedridden elder by his family. They felt a dog in a kennel by the bed could keep him company while they were gone. Caretakers of the person were concerned because the dog was never let out and a couple times a week the family would come over and haul the kennel outside with Scooby in it and used a power hose to clean out the waste. Thanks to a caretaker, Scooby found his way to us. By the time he came he had spent several months locked in a too small kennel with no social interaction, toys, or kind touch. He was afraid of everything. The first toy terrified him. Luckily he is quick to pick up on the fact he is safe. He is super smart and was fully house trained within 2 days.
