About Scotty

Scotty is an energetic 10-month-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who craves playtime and action. You can count on him to be vocal and a bit rowdy, sometimes charging around as if he’s still figuring out how to burn off all his enthusiasm. Despite his high energy, Scotty has a softer side and loves a cuddle after a session of play. He’s eager to please his people and is picking up key cues like sitting and leash walking. Scotty does best with families who have enough time and stamina for a young, strong pup. If your household includes other dogs, a meet-and-greet is important; for homes with cats, a retest is recommended before proceeding. Given his excitement level, homes with very small children or fall-risk individuals should think carefully before adopting. He's available for adoption through the Butler County Humane Society in Renfrew, PA. Your new best friend is just one click away.
