About Scuttle

Scuttle is a bright, goofy pup whose family can’t keep up with his high spirits and energy. At around 10 months old and 40 lbs, he’s bursting with playful energy and looks for every excuse to romp, especially with other dogs. Scuttle thrives in an active home and would love a securely fenced yard—a spot he doesn’t have now, which means he’s raring to stretch those legs. His social streak runs deep: he gets along well with other dogs and would be happy with a canine playmate who can keep up. House trained, crate trained, and excellent on leash, Scuttle already has some solid training skills. He picks up new things quickly and responds well to structure, especially from someone with working dog experience. His background? Mom’s a puggle, dad’s a wildcard—maybe with hints of Malinois or Black Mouth Cur, so there’s no shortage of zoomies here. Homes with cats aren’t a fit, but Scuttle is good with kids and will do best where his energy can be matched and his brain kept busy. He’s fully vetted and ready to find the right place to just be a dog, loved and allowed to burn off steam. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
