About Scooby

Meet Scooby, a lively little pug who’s ready to find his forever home alongside his fluffy companion, Shelby. At around 5 years old, Scooby is energetic and outgoing, truly loving everyone he meets. It’s worth noting that he has a playful mischievous streak and can be a bit of an escape artist, so a secure fenced yard is a great fit for him. Scooby and Shelby, a sweet 15-month-old girl, thrive on playtime together and would make a fantastic duo for the right family. They’re both fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and they share a joyful bond that would bring lots of love and laughter to a new home. Their previous owner cared deeply for them, and we’re dedicated to finding them a loving environment where they can feel safe and cherished. If you're looking for a pair of playful companions, Scooby and Shelby are your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
