About Scout

Meet Scout, a lovable, approximately 4-year-old mixed breed dog, possibly a golden retriever/spaniel or setter mix, weighing in at 32 lbs. Scout is ready to find his forever family and may be just the right companion for anyone seeking a warm-hearted shadow. His affectionate nature means he enjoys being near his humans, whether you're relaxing on the couch or busy around the house. A home where someone's around most of the time would be perfect for him. While Scout has the sweetest personality, he has a playful side too. He loves his stuffed animal "baby" and gets super excited when it’s time to eat. With great house manners, he is potty trained, sleeps soundly in his crate, and walks nicely on a leash. Scout is also learning basic commands like “sit” and shows promising progress. Scout thrives on companionship and enjoys having a doggy friend to play with. He does well with kids but hasn't been around smaller dogs much. He may chase cats, so supervision will be necessary. Additionally, he loves car rides but will initially try to sit up front before settling down. One important note: Scout isn’t fond of thunderstorms and seeks a safe place to hide when storms hit, so a patient family to reassure him is key. Currently, Scout is heartworm positive and on a slow kill protocol, but he can still enjoy regular family activities. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who deserves a loving home that will provide companionship, time, and cuddles. If you think you can give Scout the forever family he longs for, reach out today!
