About Scout

Meet Scout. He’s a smaller Pocket Bully mix who thrives on attention and has a soft spot for people—at least those he trusts. Scout came to the shelter after his owner fell ill and couldn’t care for him anymore. He has a habit of showing up for some extra staff love and, with those big, pleading eyes, it’s clear he knows how to get it. Mostly he just wants to curl up on the couch with humans he feels safe with; relaxing and bonding is where he stands out. But there’s a serious side—Scout has shown aggression toward other dogs and occasionally people as well. He really needs a home willing to give him careful supervision, boundaries, and understanding, ideally with no other animals or young children. The right adopters will be committed to giving Scout the help and monitoring he deserves so he can relax and trust again. Leos like Scout are known for their loyalty—he’ll be someone’s fiercely devoted friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
