Scoby is a 7-year-old, small Pug with a rough past, found as a stray in Gardena, CA. His history has made him wary—he’s got a bite history, and sometimes reacts out of caution rather than aggression. Given the right environment, though, Scoby changes. He opens up to gentle encouragement and patient, steady routines. When someone shows Scoby kindness, his softer side emerges, revealing genuine affection and the desire to connect. He’s got a big personality for his size and needs someone who understands that rebuilding trust takes time, especially for a pup who hasn’t always been able to count on people. Scoby needs a home without small children and should be the only dog, so he can relax and regain confidence at his own pace. Once he settles in, he’s the kind of dog who’ll reward patience with loyalty, play, and devotion—qualities you only see in dogs who’ve weathered tough times. Leo is his sun sign, so a bold, passionate streak hides under that guarded surface. If you’re looking for a companion with a story and a lot of love to share, Scoby is waiting to meet you.
