Scrat is a 5-year-old boy with a heart full of loyalty and a protective nature. While he may be a bit wary of strangers, especially men, once he bonds with you, he's a devoted companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin. Scrat prefers a female owner and thrives in a calm, low-traffic home where he can feel secure and not overwhelmed by too much activity. He's a true couch potato at heart and loves nothing more than lounging with his favorite person, but he's also protective and will always keep a watchful eye on those he cares about.
Scrat is dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but he's not a fan of cats or kids, so he'll need a home where he's the only furry kid. A fenced-in yard is preferred so Scrat can enjoy the outdoors safely, whether he's playing or just soaking up the sun.
While Scrat may take some time to warm up to new people, especially men, he's incredibly affectionate once he trusts you. He's the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving dog who'll always be there to keep you company and watch over you.
If you're looking for a sweet, protective buddy who enjoys quiet time at home and lots of snuggles, Scrat is ready to meet you!
Scrat's adoption fee is waived in memory of Sean Powell.

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
