About Scout

Scout is a 1-year-old Bluetick Coonhound and Great Pyrenees mix who combines laid-back charm with a hound’s natural curiosity. He’s calm and affectionate, content to lounge but ready to play. True to his pack roots, Scout thrives in the company of other dogs—he absolutely needs a canine companion and doesn’t do well left by himself. He’s easygoing with dogs, cats, chickens, and people of all ages. You’ll notice his clever side—he has a knack for escaping if left unsupervised. Scout loves to track scents and can get caught up in the thrill of the chase, especially with deer. While leash-walking suits him, Scout can be particular about how it’s done. He’s still adjusting to car rides and is getting some help with that. Currently, Scout is scheduled to be neutered soon, which might reduce his urge to wander. He’s underweight because he’s a picky eater, but he’s working on it and improving steadily. For Scout, a country home with open space and an experienced hound owner is a must. He’ll bring lasting loyalty, adventure, and a steady presence to the right home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
