Story
Meet Scotty Biscotti, a rambunctious 15-month-old puppy with the potential to become the best companion dog an experienced caretaker has ever had!Let's talk about Scotty:He’s the canine version of Kevin McAllister from Home Alone. Scotty is a treasure troll:- Closet doors cannot be left open- Shoes should never be left unattended- If you use the space under your bed for storage, expect to see things you haven’t seen in yearsScotty can entertain himself with just about any object. He thinks slippers are “flippers” and tosses them with delight. Scotty dances, barks, and runs like a child chasing fireflies in the summer when he sees a leash. He loves to play and can’t understand why his favorite resident dog hides under the bed. If he hears a dog in the distance, he barks … Scotty is a classic example of what happens when a family fails to provide a young puppy structure and training. Scotty is now looking for his new family who can provide him with the structure and training he needs and deserves. Here’s what Scotty needs to reach his full potential:1. Patience and Consistency: Scotty will benefit from a patient caretaker who can provide consistent training and routines. This will help him feel secure and understand what is expected of him.2. Structure: Establish a daily routine that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and training sessions. This structure will help Scotty understand his world better and reduce any anxiety he may have.3. Exercise: Regular physical activity is crucial for Scotty’ well-being. Daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to run and explore will keep him happy and healthy.4. Training: Investing time in obedience training will help Scotty learn commands and strengthen the bond between him and his caretaker. Positive reinforcement techniques work best for fostering a trusting relationship.5. Socialization: Continued socialization with other dogs and people will help Scotty develop confidence and good manners. This can include playdates, or dog training classes.6. Mental Stimulation: Engaging Scotty’s mind is just as important as physical exercise. Puzzle toys, scent games, and basic training exercises can keep him mentally stimulated and prevent boredom.With the right commitment and love, Scottie can become an incredible companion and bring joy to any family lucky enough to welcome him into their home.Name: Scotty BiscottieBreed: Poodle MixSex: MaleAge: 15 monthsWeight: 14 lbs Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550Location of dog currently: New EnglandIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.
