My story

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

Hi, Iandamp;#39;m Scout.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a shy guy just looking for a quiet place to finally relax and come out of my shell. The shelter is a pretty scary place for me, and Iandamp;#39;m hoping to find a forever home where I can feel safe and loved. Iandamp;#39;m not the kind of dog who will rush into things-I need a family thatandamp;#39;s patient, understanding, and willing to let me take my time.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ll do best in a home with older kids who can respect my need for a little extra space and time to adjust. I do need to meet all the family members first to make sure we all feel comfortable together. Itandamp;#39;s important to me that everyone gets along well and that I feel secure in my new environment.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If youandamp;#39;re looking for a sweet, quiet dog to share your life with, Iandamp;#39;d love to meet you. Letandamp;#39;s take things slow, go at my pace, and see if weandamp;#39;re a good match. Iandamp;#39;m ready to find a loving home where I can finally relax and just be myself.

Adoption Requirements:
- Adopter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
