About Scout

Scout landed in rescue after being found wandering on a rural road outside Texoma, most likely left behind. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, she made it to safety but no one ever came looking for her. She's now fully vetted, spayed, and ready for a home that matches her energy. Scout is about two years old and blends traits from both Husky and German Shepherd, so she’s got stamina and smarts to spare. She’s very sweet around people and thrives with other dogs—male or female. Nothing delights her more than romping in the yard or wrestling with a canine buddy. Without another dog around, she’ll really depend on her adopter for play and exercise. She’s already crate-trained and handles herself well on-leash. If you’re looking for a dog who wants an active schedule and gets along with other dogs, Scout fits the bill. She’s even getting slow, supervised introductions to chickens, which could be promising if you have a backyard flock and want to continue her training. Your new best friend is just one click away.
