About Scooby

This could be the start of something paw-some. Scooby is a surrendered Great Dane who comes from a home with children and is known to get along well with other dogs. While he is friendly, Scooby is also quite fearful of new things and will require some patience as he adjusts to a new environment. When unfamiliar people enter the house, he tends to bark and jump but, with time, he gradually warms up to them. Scooby is hoping for a home with an experienced owner who understands his needs and can provide the guidance and support required to help him feel secure. With trust and consistency, Scooby promises to become a loyal and loving companion. By the way, born on January 1st, he is a Capricorn—so you can expect a loyal and steadfast friend who is ready for a fresh start. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
