SCORPION's Story

Meet Scorpion<br/><br/>Scorpion is one of those dogs you can’t help but look twice at. He has the build and handsome face of a Rottweiler, but someone apparently added a little extra flair with a wiry, longer coat. The result? A completely unique-looking guy who is guaranteed to get people asking, “What kind of dog is that?”<br/><br/>Scorpion showed up at a home over the weekend and decided he was ready to move in. Unfortunately, the homeowner wasn’t quite as enthusiastic about his interior decorating plans, so Scorpion came to stay with us instead.<br/><br/>When he arrived, he was very underweight and clearly in need of some TLC. He tested positive for heartworm, so we immediately started him on a slow refeeding program and began his heartworm treatment. He also arrived with an eye infection, which has been treated, and he has made a full recovery.<br/><br/>We haven’t dog-tested Scorpion yet. We wanted to give him some time to feel better, gain some weight, and get back to his best self before putting him through another potentially stressful experience.<br/><br/>What we do know is that this guy is incredibly lovable. He enjoys attention and has that wonderful combination of a big-dog presence and a heart that just wants someone to love him.<br/><br/>And let’s be honest—if your goal is to stop traffic, turn heads, and have strangers constantly asking, “What kind of dog is THAT?”, Scorpion may be your guy.<br/><br/>He came to us looking for a place to stay.<br/><br/>We’re hoping his next stop is home.

Chester County Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
Chester County Animal Control is a high-intake shelter located in Chester, committed to finding safe, loving homes for the dogs and cats in our care. As a rural shelter serving a large intake population, we work diligently to create positive outcomes for every adoptable animal through active networking, community outreach, and partnerships with rescue organizations that help expand placement opportunities. Our adoption program is designed to support both animals and adopters by encouraging thoughtful, successful matches. We take time to connect with potential adopters to better understand their lifestyle, household, experience, and what they are looking for in a companion animal. Based on that conversation, we share recommendations to help identify the best fit for both the adopter and the pet. This process helps improve long-term success and reduces the likelihood of an animal being returned during the adjustment period. Benefits of adopting through Chester County Animal Control include: • Staycation Program – After selecting your “furever” pet, adopters may take the animal home for a 10-day trial period to ensure the pet adjusts well to the home, family members, and other animals. • Peace of Mind – All adoptable animals receive initial age-appropriate vaccinations, including rabies when required. • Essential Veterinary Care – Animals are spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption whenever possible. • Behavior and Health Review – Each animal’s physical condition and temperament are assessed to help support informed adoption decisions. Our goal is to create lasting placements that benefit both pets and families while giving every adoptable animal the best opportunity for a successful future.
