Scout's Story

Scout is a neutered male hound/weimaraner mix (see his DNA results), weighing about 40-45 lbs! He is a sweet, special boy who has had a rough past and really needs an angel to step up and save his life. His estimated age is 5-6 years old, however he has graying on his muzzle which makes him look older than he is. He also has scars on his ears and face. <br/><br/>This boy has definitely experienced trauma and he is slow to trust people, but deep down he just wants to love and be loved. He is misunderstood and has had people let him down too many times.<br/><br/>Scout bonds closely to one person and once he trusts you, you will feel the love and adoration every time he looks into your eyes! He is a lazy couch potato who loves to nap on the couch next to you and will follow you around the house like your shadow. Once you&#39;ve really earned his love, he will steal your slippers or other little trinkets that smell like you and take them onto the couch to keep close to him. He won&#39;t chew them, he just wants to keep a piece of you with him always. <br/><br/>Scout has been adopted and returned once due to fearful aggressive behavior towards men and children. He has been in his current foster home for over a year now and has not had any adopt interest. He is a good boy, but he requires a very specific type of home to do well, and we have not had any luck finding the right home for him <br/><br/>His current foster mom loves him and has worked hard to help him be the best boy he can be, but there is a man in the home and Scout just cannot comfortably coexist with a man. He (the man) understands that Scout&#39;s aggression towards him comes from a place of fear and he has tried hard to earn Scout&#39;s trust, but we feel that Scout would do best in a home with NO men. <br/><br/>Scout&#39;s ideal home:<br/><br/>A female only home, no men, children, or cats. Scout does very well with other dogs and likes to be near them, he also has bursts of playful enjoy and will happily romp around for a play session! A friendly, confident doggo friend would help him to feel safe and to trust, although he would also do just fine as an only dog. <br/><br/>A quiet, calm home environment is best for Scout. He is lower energy and is happy to nap on the couch all day, but he does also love walks (he is strong and tends to pull, so he needs someone strong enough to handle him). <br/><br/>He needs a home that will commit to crating him in a separate room when they have visitors over, as he is not good with new people and when Scout is fearful, he relies on aggression to keep him safe and to keep the scary thing away. Scout needs someone to love him for who he is, warts and all, who will set him up for success and advocate for him.<br/><br/>Scout is currently being fostered in CT. If you think you might be a good fit for Scout, please consider applying to foster or adopt him! <br/><br/>Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt <br/><br/>Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs. We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other less desirable dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted. As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Our Mission
Working in rescue for over a decade, we were tired of only seeing puppies, young, and pre vetted dogs getting saved. While the dog in the back with the leg that needs amputation gets passed by. We want to make a difference by saving the dogs who actually need to be saved. Most of these dogs won't get out unless WE rescue th...
