Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Meet Scottie! This handsome scruffy boy was rescued from challenging conditions, having been left behind after his previous owner could no longer care for him. Now, Scottie is settling into his foster home with adults, another dog, and regular visits from grandchildren. Life indoors is still new to him, and while he’s a bit timid, he’s making wonderful progress each day. Scottie has learned to walk beautifully on leash and is picking up house manners from his foster sibling. Although he can be shy with new people and sudden noises, he’s gentle and never aggressive, preferring to retreat quietly until he feels more comfortable. He is learning trust at his own pace, especially with the support of his canine foster brother, and delights in the company of other dogs. Scottie sleeps peacefully by his people, sometimes surprising everyone by hopping onto the bed for overnight cuddles. Scottie would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly dog to mentor him and help continue building his confidence. He’s friendly with other dogs and adaptable, with a loving, gentle nature. With a little patience and plenty of encouragement, Scottie is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
