Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Scout. Not much is known about my background. I was found wandering the streets of a town in Western Kentucky. A family took me in and contacted LWR and they helped me get some basic medical care before I found my way to my foster home. I have a microchip but when they contacted the people to whom it was registered, they didn't reply. I don't know why. I am such a well-behaved and healthy boy that I can't imagine I was no longer wanted. However, I now find myself living in the Cincinnati area. My foster Mom took me to the vet and had me neutered and had all kinds of senior blood tests completed. I came thru with flying colors! According to the vet, my bloodwork was excellent! I'm now on heartworm preventive and flea preventive medications. The vet says it's very important that I am kept on Interceptor Plus as it keeps all sorts of worms from getting into my system. I am up to date on my vaccinations and microchipped.
I'm a bit tall and on the slender side, weighing in at 72 pounds. Being tall I have a nice countertop reach and like all Weims, if you leave something on the counter, I will explore. You are probably a good cook, so it seems only natural that I would want to taste the deliciousness that you create, right?
When I first arrived at my foster home, my foster Dad was away on business. When he got home, my foster Mom was out and not able to introduce us to each other. My foster Dad was a little concerned about me being overly protective when he got home. However, as soon as I saw my foster Dad, I was madly in love. Every time he comes home, I can't wait to get next to him on the couch and snuggle up as close as I can. When he walks me on my leash, I am the best boy ever. I really love my foster Dad. Living with a man would be so awesome for me! Don't get me wrong, I love my entire foster family, but I think I would really like a male in the house so we can bond.
As far as other dogs, I have been great with all of them! Two small dogs live in my foster home. One is only 10 pounds and the other is about 20 pounds. They are 4 years old, and we love to play together. We wrestle and run and boy it is so much fun. We even have a bonus puppy that comes to visit. She is only 4 months old and weighs about 20 pounds. She is full of puppy energy and she and I play the entire time she is here. I'm very gentle with her even when we are wrestling. I think I've even been teaching her how to play properly. My foster Mom has taken me to the dog park where I have met dogs of all sizes and been around other people too. It is so much fun meeting all of these dogs and playing with them. Did I mention that I am 10 years old? Obviously, I am not on my last leg!
I don't seem to know a lot of tricks. We have been working on sit, which I know very well now. And "stay". My foster Mom makes me "stay" before she gives me my food. That one was a little tougher, but I think I've got it mastered now. I just love to eat so it's hard to wait for my food. I do try to steal my foster siblings' food. That tiny one sure has a sassy bark so my foster mom makes sure that we are separated when it's time to eat.
I have been going in the crate when my foster family leaves. I prefer to stay out and about, but I go in the crate (with a couple of small treats), and I will stay in there and not cause any trouble at all. At first, I slept in the crate all night long but after a while, my foster Mom let me sleep in the bed. I like that a lot. Snuggling is one of my most favorite activities. We can watch TV all day if you like and I'll stay with you and snuggle. Following you around is another favorite activity of mine. You don't have to worry about being alone if I'm around. You and I will be the best of friends and I'm happy to ride in the car with you, walk with you, sleep with you, eat dinner with you...whatever you want to do is perfect for me.
If I sound like the perfect guy for you, please contact LWR. I'm excited to find my forever family and can't wait to meet you!
