SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Scooby is a fun-loving happy dog. that is a joy to be around! He is a big guy, expected to be 90-100 pounds at a healthy weight. He was underweight when he arrived, but we are working to help him fill out with beneficial lean weight. Not only is Scooby a great looking dog, he is super sweet and very playful. Given his size, he will be best suited to a home with active adopters capable of handling large dogs. Scooby is learning good leash manners and is eager to please. Scooby loves playing with people and with balls. Physical and mental exercise is good for boys like him. He is in good health, neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, but he tested positive for heart worms. Because he is asymptomatic, we have begin a soft kill method of eradication that is inexpensive and easy to maintain. One dose, once a month, and Scooby should test negative within 10-12 months. A perfect dog deserves a perfect home! So we are seeking a home with an active adopter who has the ability to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with this amazing dog! A home with a fenced, secure yard will give Scooby room to run and play securely, and maybe even teach his adopter a thing or two about playing ball! Scooby is not well suited to small children or smaller dogs who could be upset by his enthusiasm, but will fit nicely into many other homes.

Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Petfinder inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of the dog and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and the dog at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting the dog and determining that it matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
