About Scout

Scout is a spirited neutered male, between 2 to 4 years old, and he absolutely loves to play. This small Sheltie/Terrier mix weighs 25 lbs and thrives in an active home where kids can toss a tennis ball for him all day. While he gets along famously with humans, he has a feisty streak when it comes to other dogs. He prefers to play with larger dogs and can sometimes be a bit of a bully, making him better suited for a home as the only dog. He tends to pick on other dogs in the house, and likely would do the same with cats. Scout is incredibly friendly and greets everyone with enthusiasm. He enjoys cuddling on the couch and happily follows you around during daily activities. He is great with doggy doors and has learned how to use pee pads while at the rescue. This little guy is ready to bring joy and a lot of energy into your home. Make Scout your newest family member and get ready for plenty of cuddles and adventures together!
