About Scooby. San Anselmo

Scooby is a hefty, sweet-natured young Bullmastiff in San Anselmo, CA, weighing close to 100 pounds and still growing into his frame. He’s a classic Velcro-type companion—loyal, deeply bonded, and happiest when glued to your side. Having some separation anxiety, Scooby does best with someone home most of the day, and he’d thrive as the only pet since he prefers to soak up all the attention. A consistent routine puts him at ease, making structured days and predictable activities essential. Scooby’s love for raw bones in his crate and his enthusiasm for playing fetch show just how much enrichment matters to him. He’s smart, driven by food, eager to please, and responds well to training, which makes up for his earlier lack of socialization. An experienced adopter who understands large breeds and is familiar with socialization and training plans is essential for this guy. Scooby would flourish in a home with older children or adults and a large, fenced yard where he can burn off steam. He’s house trained, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations, ready to start a new, better chapter. Give Scooby the patience and structure he craves and he’ll become your devoted companion. Your new best friend is just one click away.
