Scout is a striking 8-year-old Shepherd-Doodle with a sharp mind and a big heart. Adopted as a puppy, he’s now looking for a new start through no fault of his own. He's a 54-pound dog driven by affection and loyalty. Structure and regular activity suit him well—he’ll thrive with someone who’s home often or a family that leads an active lifestyle. This is a dog who could chase after a ball for hours. He’s been well-trained, boasts a reliable recall, and understands good manners. Scout forms close bonds and wants to be part of whatever his people are doing. He’s friendly with other dogs, especially those who play respectfully and aren’t dominant. Scout is currently in New Jersey and available to meet prospective adopters. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
