My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Scooby, and I’m an Australian Kelpie Mix, around 7 years old. I’m writing to tell you a little bit about myself so you can get to know me better.
People describe me as “handsome,” “a good looking pup,” “looks exactly like the dog emoji”, and my personal favorite from a kind gentleman at a bar: “he just looks like a dog.”
I absolutely love exercising and being outdoors. Playing fetch, hanging by the lake, going on hikes, running, and even biking — I’m up for anything as long as I get to spend time with my owner! Daily exercise is a must for me to be on my best behavior.
When I see another dog, I get SUPER excited. I just have to run up to them and say hello. If I can’t do this (because I’m indoors or on a leash), I might whine or pull on the leash really hard. But don’t worry, I get along great with other dogs when I’m off-leash. In fact, I think having another canine friend in the house would be awesome for me.
I’m a strong and smart working dog, and I love learning new tricks. However, I do have a few rules:
1.I must bark at the mailman.
2.Any time I see another dog, I must run up to greet them.
3.SQUIRREL!
I also have a cozy side. I love to den by getting under the bed covers with you or in a cozy crate with a blanket covering all of it except the front door. I’m okay with being locked in the crate if I’ve had a couple of weeks to warm up to it by having my food served in there.
I’m house trained, but if you leave me alone and uncrated for more than a few hours, I might have an accident inside. My previous owner had to surrender me because they took an in-office job, and I couldn’t handle being alone so much.
I hope to find a new home where I can get lots of exercise, play with other dogs, and cuddle up in a cozy spot. I’m a loving and loyal companion, and I can’t wait to meet my new family.
