Story
THE COMPANION RECRUITMENT: Small Dog Friend Required! Scout has a job opening in his future forever home, and the #1 requirement is a small dog coworker! He is ready to find a patient family who can give him the time and the puppy-pile buddy he needs. Meet Scout, a strikingly handsome 6-year-old, 12-pound Cavalier-Chihuahua mix who is a master of the "exclusive club" lifestyle. Scout is a sensitive, quiet soul who doesn't instantly run up to strangers for belly rubs, which means he gets passed over by people looking for an instant lap dog. But if you are a connoisseur of shy rescue dogs, you know that earning the trust of a dog like Scout is the ultimate badge of honor!{C} Recently, Scout’s brother graduated to his forever home. While we are cheering him on, Scout is currently looking for his new partner-in-crime. He is a dog's dog through and through. He relies on a canine companion of similar size to show him the ropes, boost his confidence, and help him navigate the world. Because of this, Scout cannot be the only pet—he must go to a home with an existing small dog friend. ⨠The Real Scout (Once You’re In His Inner Circle): Puppy Pile Enthusiast: While he takes a moment to warm up to humans, he is a social butterfly with dogs his size. His absolute favorite thing in the world is to sleep in a cozy puppy pile, right next to or directly on top of his dog friends! The Yard Zoomie Expert: Once he feels secure outside with a dog buddy, his playful side completely takes over! He loves chasing his friends, running through the grass, and showing off his speed. A Gentle Gentleman: He is healthy, fully house-trained, and a polite observer. Once you are part of his trusted crew, he happily leans into gentle face scratches. Scout’s Dream Home Check-List: A Small Canine Buddy: A friendly, confident dog of a similar size to be his best friend and guide. An Adult-Only Sanctuary: A quiet, low-traffic home with patient humans who respect boundaries and love watching a dog blossom at his own pace. A Securely Fenced Yard: A safe space where he can play with his dog buddy without the pressure of busy neighborhood leash walks. (Sorry he is not an apartment dog). Scout might never be a dog you take to a crowded brewery, and he might take a while to ask for lap time—and that is exactly how he is wired! He is looking for a family who loves him for the loyal, gentle, dog-loving soul he is.
