About Scott

Scott is an irresistibly cute 2-month-old mixed breed puppy looking for a forever home. Coming to us as part of an owner surrender, he is almost fully housebroken and has shown promise in adapting to his new surroundings. Scott is neutered and has been microchipped, with all age-appropriate vaccinations. He did well with children in his previous home and enjoys the company of his sibling, Jones. While Scott hasn’t been in contact with other dogs or cats, we encourage potential adopters to set up meet and greets with any resident pets to ensure harmony. It's important to remember the 3-3-3 rule to help Scott adjust: three days to decompress, three weeks to settle in, and three months to build trust. If you're ready for the commitment of adopting a puppy, Scott could be the perfect addition to your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
