About Scout One of

Scout and Finch came into rescue as a pair and clearly aren't meant to be separated. They were found together off a dirt road after surviving on their own for a couple of weeks, always right by each other's side. Scout, also called Pudding, is the smaller of the two at around 40 lbs (though she wouldn't mind shedding a few), and she sticks close to Finch at all times. Finch, the bigger presence at about 80 lbs, prefers to have Scout nearby too. Scout tends to get along well with most dogs, while Finch is best with females. Both dogs show a ton of personality and quirky habits, and will quickly bring humor and energy to their new home. The pair has done well with considerate, older kids and would be happiest in a household with children aged 10 and up. If you’re looking to adopt a loyal duo, Scout and Finch are worth meeting. Your new best friend is just one click away.
