About Scout

Scout is a charming young male Vizsla mix looking for his forever home. Rescued from a kill shelter in Texas as a puppy, he found himself with a family in Canada for nearly six years. Sadly, after the arrival of children, he was deemed unsuitable and bounced between homes, leading to his current stay at a shelter in Mission, BC. This sweet boy is shy and needs a patient family, preferably one with no kids or children over ten years old. Scout is loving and loyal once he builds trust. While he gets along with dogs, he may require time to adjust to new canine companions. His experiences have left him in need of stability and kindness. If you can foster or adopt him, please consider giving Scout a chance at a happy life. Your new best friend is just one click away.
