About Cub Scout
Cub Scout needs urgent placement due to behavioral challenges he's facing in the shelter. Initially discovered as a friendly stray, Cub Scout has started to show signs of stress, especially during walks, where he barks or lunges at unfamiliar people. While he remains sweet and social with familiar staff and volunteers, this hypervigilance is concerning. When exiting his kennel, he sometimes exhibits leash biting and may engage in kennel fighting with neighboring dogs. It's clear he cherishes time in the yard, relaxing and leaning into familiar laps. Cub Scout truly deserves a chance to decompress in a calm and structured environment, making an experienced adopter the best fit for him. With the right support, he has the potential to blossom into the loving companion he once was. If you think you can provide the nurturing home Cub Scout needs, please reach out for an interaction.
