About Scout

Scout is a big-hearted mix with the perfect blend of Labrador, hound, and American Bulldog in him. He’s a true character—goofy, loving, and always looking to please. For a dog pushing 65 lbs, Scout likes to believe he’s a small lap dog, and he’ll gladly curl into you for attention. At just under five years old, Scout has a good energy balance: a quick 20 minutes of ball-chasing and he’s ready to settle down for a long snuggle or belly rub. He’s likely housebroken and already has basic commands like "sit" and "come here" down, showing an eagerness to keep learning. Scout gets along well with other dogs and is curious—but not pushy—around cats. He isn’t food aggressive, though he prefers not to share treats. Scout is the kind of companion who can adjust to a semi-active routine. Give him a little exercise and a lot of affection, and he’ll thrive. Scout is ready for his forever home, where he can share his easy joy and become someone’s loyal, everyday sidekick. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
