My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, I'm Scooby! I'm almost a year old and they say I'm a Bull Mastiff mix. Right now, I'm about 70 lbs, but I'll probably bulk up to around 90 lbs when I'm all grown.

I used to live with some humans, but they couldn't keep me anymore. It was really stressful being in a shelter, I kinda shut down. But then, these amazing folks from a local rescue brought me to a foster home. Within just a day, I started feeling like myself again.

I absolutely adore hanging out with other dogs! Playing, sharing toys and bones, it's the best. I'm all good with going potty outside and chilling in my crate. Oh, and I need a fenced yard, you know, for safety reasons.

I gotta admit, I'm pretty shy around new people and places. I'm a bit of an introvert, you could say. But once I get to know you, I'll be your loyal shadow. New folks take me a while to warm up to, so I'd prefer a calm home where there aren't too many strangers coming and going.

Kids, though? I'm cool with them. They seem to understand me quicker than adults. And don't worry, I'm all about love, no aggression here. If things get overwhelming, I'll just retreat to my cozy crate until I feel better.
