Scooby dooby doo, is this the pup for you?

Scooby is a 1.5-year-old Pitbull mix with a lot of love to give. If you are looking for a loving and affectionate dog, then Scooby is the pup for you! This sweet boy loves to give kisses and receive attention. He is very gentle when receiving “scooby snacks”, and responds well to commands when encouraged with them. When he gets excited, he tends to give soft mouthy nibbles, so he will need a family that is willing to work with him on some of his manners. The good news is that he is easily distracted and is smart and eager to please. With patience and proper training, Scooby has the potential to be a very polite and top notch family companion.

Scooby has some energy to spare (especially when he is given the space to run), but once he gets on a leash, he relaxes and is a real treat to walk with minimal pulling. When Scooby was in his foster home, he showed himself to be calm and made himself very comfortable on his dog bed and playing with his stuffies. He was not destructive, and was able to last through the night without going potty while uncrated. His fosters were older, retired folks who found him easy to manage inside their home and found him to be a good companion for strolling their neighborhood which is loaded with other dogs. He can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but warms up quickly to strangers and is friendly with other dogs he meets. When he has been around children in the past he has done well, although with toddler age kiddos, parental supervision and positive reinforcement training with Scoobie will be your best approach. This handsome boy would love nothing more than to have space to run, a cozy bed and a family to have him as part of the gang!

Will you be the Shaggy to our Scooby?

Fun Off Site Adventure May 2024: A car drive, walk in the park, shopping and a Pup Cup!  What more could a dog want for?  Well, truth be told, a H-O-M-E!  Howdy folks!! We're here again pushing our good friend SCOOBY!!   While the name Scooby should in and of itself make you smile,  knowing our 4 legged friend is good in the car, a skilled hiker, savvy shopper and grateful Pup Cup recipient perhaps might tip the scales for YOU to please bring him home!  


It's hard to believe Scooby will be marking his one year anniversary with us in less than 2 weeks.   YIKES!  Scooby is a friendly, amicable guy who has done well in meeting other dogs, was terrific in a temp foster home (great inside, housetrained) and is ready to put his pet skills to work.


On his off site adventure,  Scooby enjoyed a leisurely stroll around Pleasant Grove Park and then we headed to Tractor Supply Palymra where we were greeted by the super friendly, dog-loving staff. Special hats off to Sales Associate Trudy who toured us around and showed us the amazing pet wash station in the back of the store.  Scooby got a personalized tour and he was pretty impressed!!  Last stop was Cuppa Joe Palmyra where Barista Hannah was quick on her feet to accommodate Scooby's request of a Pup Cup please!!  Everyone who meets Scooby really loves him and we can't wait to meet the lucky family that gets to introduce him as their new best friend.  Might it be YOU!!
