Story
Have you ever had an underbite melt your heart? If not... meet Scooby! This little fella's a Chihuahua mix, just over 5 years old, and 15 lbs of pure love. He's as sweet as can be and would love to find a calm, laid-back home where he can finally settle in for the long haul! Over the past couple of weeks, Scooby has been getting used to his new environment and routine. He's just about potty trained (only a couple of accidents here and there) and the resident dogs have helped him learn the potty ropes in his new place. Scooby is enjoying his daily walks and has excellent leash manners. He also loves car rides so if you're a cruiser, well, you've got a match right here.
Scooby gets anxious and startled by loud noises and fast movements so, for this reason, we think a kid-free home would be best. Right now, Scooby has a couple of senior canine roommates who are gettin' fussy in their old age, but this easy-going boy takes it in stride. He's used to sharing space with other small dogs so we think he might enjoy having another relaxed, friendly dog in the home for company. Scooby has been experiencing some separation anxiety so he's taking a very low dose of Trazadone in the mornings to help him relax while you're away. The Trazadone has been working well for him and, with time, we hope he can be weaned off so he can just be relaxed and know you'll be back home soon. We've also learned that Scooby is an excellent climber, so if you think a baby gate or a chain link fence is gonna keep this boy boxed in, well, you got another thing comin'! He's fine as long as someone from his human family is outside with him, but potential adopters will need to be vigilant about keeping an eye on Scooby while he's outdoors.... think about it as a chance for you to get some fresh air too! Scooby bonds strongly with his human(s) so a work-from-home situation or a family that has plenty of home time and love to share would be perfect for this little guy. We'll continue to share updates as Scooby offers up new info about himself and his furever needs...
The suggested adoption fee for Scooby is $365. Bullies-N-Beyond is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home.
