About Scooby

Scooby is the happiest comeback kid around. This cheerful fella has mastered his house routine and enjoys life to the fullest. Smart, gentle, and well-mannered, he adores both people and other dogs, treating every new friend like family. He walks nicely on a leash and is perfectly content to relax at home while his foster is at work. When the car keys jingle, you can see the excitement in his eyes, knowing an adventure is on the horizon. A good sniff in the backyard or a playful toy session is enough to tire him out, yet he's just as happy curling up on the patio. Scooby does have a special need: he experienced a prior injury that healed but impacted his bladder and bowel control. He requires a few scheduled breaks for bladder relief during the day, but he handles it all with awareness and cooperation. He gets along with children, cats, and dogs, making him an ideal addition to any family. Scooby is ready to meet his special human. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
