Story
E-mail Jenny@doggoneseattle.org Animal Information: Scooby is a estimated 2-year-old, male Labrador Retriever mix weighing approximately 54lbs. Foster Profile: Scooby is the sweetest boy who loves every person he meets! His gentle and calm disposition makes him a very pleasant house guest, and if you're into a super cuddly dog, he's your guy! He won't hesitate to curl up in a complete stranger's lap just to get pets and look into their eyes. While this boy came to us extremely emaciated, you would never be able to tell what trials and tribulations he has faced in his past since he does not have a mean bone in his body. It is clear that he has not had an easy life before coming to Dog Gone Seattle, and he is coming out of his shell and learning how fun life can be every day. He gets along very well with other dogs of all types, and is starting to experiment with playing - something I don't think he has done much of before. Scooby has already gained a significant amount of weight and is a healthy boy! Given how much he loves people, he very much wants to listen to what he's being told and tries very hard to please. He is a young dog that is extremely smart and highly biddable, which makes him very easy to train and work with! Scooby does well in his crate for entire work days, as well as overnight. During his decompression period, he displayed anxious attachment behaviors via barking when left alone, but he has not done this since he has settled into our home. He is currently being fostered in our home with our resident dog, 2 cats, as well as chickens and quail. Scooby does have prey drive towards small animals, but he has done very well aversion training with our cats and is able to coexist with them. He would do best in a home without cats; however, if someone is able and dedicated to managing his prey drive he is able to live with them. Scooby has grown and learned a lot already in the short time we've had him, and I know he would make an amazing dog for any family! An added bonus is that he is started on e collar training. He loves going on walks and adventures, really any quality time with his people he is at his happiest. He rides very politely in the car; however, he has shown symptoms of car sickness on longer trips, which can easily be managed with motion sickness medications. Scooby deserves to have a family that can give him all of the scratches, cuddles, and treats in the world!
