My story

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

Meet Scottie, a lovable 9-year-old dog with a heart full of affection and a playful spirit that shines through despite his age! Scottie’s charm and gentle demeanor make him a delightful companion! Scottie is 86lbs of a friendly and affectionate dog who thrives on human interaction! He eagerly seeks out affection and enjoys being petted, though he can be a bit sensitive around his face, particularly due to a large mass that was recently removed from his left eyelid. He is always ready for a pat and will let you know when he’s had enough by nudging for more! Scottie is very strong on leash and will benefit from lots of exercise. Scottie’s playful side comes out when he’s engaged in games. He loves tennis balls and rope toys, and he’s also quite vocal during playtime, especially during tug-of-war! Scottie’s playful energy is contagious, and he’s always up for a fun game! Scottie has met other dogs while in our care and has done generally well though he may not have too much socialization under his wing. If you have a resident pup at home, we recommend you bring them by to do a meet with Scottie! If Scottie sounds like a good addition to your pack, come meet him today!

This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!

Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt
