Scottie is a scruffy, soulful Lab/Standard Poodle mix who came into rescue after being left behind with other doodle mixes. He had a rough start—found outdoors, neglected, and covered in ticks—but he’s bounced back with care and a fresh groom. Now neutered and healthy, he’s quickly adapting to indoor life with a foster family. Scottie is timid, especially around new people and loud noises, but never aggressive; he needs patience and steady reassurance. He’s great with other dogs and finds comfort following a confident canine companion. Kids can pet him if he’s settled, though he’s still building trust with them and strangers. Over time, Scottie’s already started showing affection—he recently decided to sleep on his foster’s bed for the first time, a big leap forward. He needs a home with a friendly resident dog, gentle people, and space for his gentle, shy side to blossom. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
