About Scooby

Scooby is a small, compact firecracker with personality to spare. Around 2.5 years old, this little guy brings a ton of bounce and a unique streak along with him. He's wary of new people and feels strongly about protecting his own space, so introductions need to be slow and thoughtful. Scooby needs a confident, experienced adopter who understands boundaries, can advocate for his comfort, and is willing to help him keep building trust in the world. Once he decides someone is truly his person, Scooby flips the switch: he becomes a champion cuddler, a goofy companion, and he’ll show you his best playful gremlin sounds. He does well around other dogs, though his energetic, jumpy style isn’t for everyone. With cats, he’s friendly, but would love to try and play—with some chasing if allowed. For Scooby, an adult-only home or one with older teens who can respect his quirks is the right match. Enthusiasm and play are Scooby's specialties, and his tug-of-war skills are top notch. He’s the kind of dog who builds a deep bond with the people he trusts. Scooby is in Milwaukee, WI, waiting for someone who can appreciate his spirit, respect his needs, and give him the stability to thrive. Adoption fee has not been waived. Every Libra is said to bring balance, but Scooby puts his own spin on it. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
