About Scar

Scar is a striking young dog looking for a loving and structured home. He arrived at the shelter on September 23, 2026, and has quickly begun to settle into a routine. He appreciates a predictable environment, which helps him feel safe and secure. To thrive, Scar will do best in a home where his space around other dogs is managed, as he can be sensitive in uncontrolled situations like dog parks. He's shown a positive history with children, so any kids in the household should participate in a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone gets along.
