My story

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

Meet Squanck, an energetic, affectionate, and downright lovable pup who literally never goes anywhere without his most prized possession—his stuffie. Whether he's heading out on a walk, meeting new friends, or just lounging around the house, you can bet that his stuffie is right by his side. This plush companion is Squanck's emotional support buddy, and they have an unbreakable bond. He’ll carry it around with him, cuddle it for comfort, and proudly introduce it to anyone he meets. It's non-negotiable—no stuffie, no Squanck!

Though Squanck is full of energy, he's not all go-go-go. After an active play session, he enjoys curling up on the couch for a cozy nap, recharging for his next adventure. He’s the perfect balance of playfulness and chill, and his charm lies in his ability to switch between these two modes with ease.

Personality:
Squanck is a playful and outgoing dog who loves to make new friends. He’s always eager to greet guests, and he does so with an enthusiastic “Look at my stuffie!” He’s friendly, confident, and enjoys the attention that comes with his bubbly personality. Squanck’s idea of a good time is a combination of fetch, tug-of-war with his stuffie, and learning new tricks—he knows sit, paw, and down and is always up for a little show-off session if there are treats involved!

However, while he's energetic, Squanck isn’t constantly in hyperdrive. After he’s had his fill of fun, he’s just as happy to lounge on the couch next to you, napping peacefully with his beloved stuffie by his side. He may be a ball of energy, but he’s also a professional couch potato when the mood strikes.

Ideal Home:
Squanck would thrive in a home with active owners who can match his energy levels and provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation. He’s best suited for a household without young children, as he tends to play rough with his toys, and might unintentionally knock over little ones during his more energetic moments. Squanck would be a great fit for a single person or a family where his owners can give him attention, exercise, and the occasional quiet time for a nap.

He loves greeting new people, and his first act of kindness will probably be to show them his stuffie. If you’re looking for a dog who’s both playful and affectionate, Squanck might just be your perfect match.

Likes:

His stuffie—seriously, it goes everywhere!

Greeting new people and introducing them to his stuffie

Napping on the couch after a play session

Learning new tricks and showing off his skills (sit, paw, down)

Having a good snuggle with his favorite plush companion

Dislikes:

Being separated from his stuffie—no exceptions!

Too much quiet or inactivity—Squanck loves to stay busy

More about this shelter

For over a century, the Humane Society of Scott County has been a cornerstone of our community, making it a better place for both people and pets. While our mission has evolved to meet changing needs, one thing has remained constant—we are unwavering advocates for those who cannot help themselves.

As the only open-intake shelter in Scott County, we are a lifeline for animals with nowhere else to go—regardless of age, health, breed, or behavior. Without us, lost, abandoned, and at-risk pets would have no safe haven. But our work goes beyond sheltering animals—we are deeply committed to helping the people. Being a resource to pet owners allows us to do what’s best for animals and their people too.

That’s why we provide essential resources to help keep pets in the homes that love them. From low-cost vaccine and microchip clinics to our free pet food pantry, we’re here to support both animals and the people who care for them. Because at the Humane Society of Scott County, we believe that when pets and people thrive together, the entire community benefits.
