Scout ACCT-A-173820 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Scout must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3RD at 10AM. Should Scout's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Scout is scouting the city for his forever family- could it be you? He's seeking a kind and active owner, who can give him play time and treats for life! Scout was found as a stray on 9/11, so we don't know much about his past as we could not get in contact with the person on his microchip. The finder said he was nervous but friendly with strangers, nervous of other animals, and jumpy with children. Overall, they described him as friendly, cuddly, scared, and playful. He's an energetic dog who has been playful throughout his time at the shelter. He has had both good and bad dog meets at the shelter and is open to meeting other dogs who can match his energy. Due to his length of stay, Scout is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter.
BEHAVIOR:
Per volunteer 9/25: Jumps on you in a playful, puppy manner, easy to redirect.
Per volunteer 9/15: Very wiggly for leashing! He tried to dodge the leash a few times before allowing it. He liked to prance around while walking! He pulled a bit and was barking at other dogs as we walked by but wasn't overly reactive. In the play yard he lovesss running around! He jumped up on me when he was zooming and excited. Took treats very gently! Not overly treat motivated but enjoyed them. He did great at the acct photoshoot without reacting to the additional stimuli. Hesitated before going back into kennel but went in with some pressure. Playful and super cute boy!
Per volunteer 9/13: Likes to play with his teeth when excited.
9/12 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION:
KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Scout was sitting by the door, soft eyes and a wagging tail. He was excited so he was moving around but once he was caught he was easy to leash and came right out.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately
HANDLING:
Scout came outside with a lot of energy and a wagging tail. He knows how to sit and takes treats nicely. He is a very silly and goofy boy that loves to run around and chase the handler. He is a very very goofy boy and tried stealing treats from the bag. He allowed all handling and is very treat motivated. His big head and wiggly body makes him the sweetest and most perfect running body and cuddler. He does get a little mouthy with play once he gets overly excited and does jump up alot. Be careful of your arms and hands when he becomes extremely playful. He can be redirected with toys and treats
