Story
Scout is the sweetest little friend. He is 11 years old, and weighs 14 lbs. He is neutered, has his shots, is housebroken, and gets along with dogs, cats, and kids.
He trusts quickly and loves to stick close to his person. He absolutely loves his walks, and also going on car rides: he will stick his little face out the passenger window, standing on his tippy-toes, while his fur blows in the wind. He knows how to “sit” and “lay down” and asks when he needs to go potty.
He is quiet for the most part, though he does bark at other dogs and people while on his leash. When he is off the leash, he gets along with all dogs and people.
He is a very smart and attuned little guy and learns very quickly. He has the perkiest walk; he loves to smell all the smells and then come inside and take a nap. Sometimes he will grab his own leash in his mouth as he runs to the door for a walk!
He sleeps well through the night (he does snore a little!) and is very well behaved.
He came to the rescue with severe allergies and very unhealthy skin, but has vastly improved since being on a prescription diet. He is currently being treated with medicated baths, just finished a round of oral anti-fungals for an ear infection, and can take an oral anti-itch medication when he needs it, which is rarely now. His once bald underbelly now has the cutest layer of fur growing back. It is expected that he will need more vet care, even though for now he seems to be balanced out. Someone interested in potentially exploring a holistic modality to his care would be especially wonderful.
Potential adopters must have a fenced back yard, no exceptions. He’d love a dog and/or cat friend, and can also be an only dog. A must is someone who enjoys walks outside — he absolutely loves walks. He also enjoys back yard time: he loves to run free, sniff, and lay down on the grass.
Preference to a home where he will be in someone’s company and get attention most of the time. He loves to sleep on the bed with his person and hates being confined to a crate. Potential adopters must have the financial means to take on his care.
He will bring so much love and joy to the right person or people.
