Scout Australian Shepherd Mix Lenoir, NC

Scout was left to fend for himself until his rescuer arrived to take him to safety.

With a guesstimated birthday in ??, Scout weighs about 40 lb.

Scout is affectionate and loves other dogs. He is learning house manners and keeps his 42" crate clean overnight. He rides well in a car, but should be tethered to keep him from infringing on the driver's space.

Scout is leash savvy, but will pull to get to exciting things. He is ignoring the cats in his foster home. They stay up high and he has been curious, but doesn't get into their space.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, and deworming if recommended by our vet. Adult dogs will also have current heartworm test. For puppies over the age of 14 weeks, our adoption fee covers the first 3 puppy vaccines. If the puppy is still in our care at 16 weeks, we will also provide the rabies vaccine.

A vet reference is required only if you are adopting an intact dog over 6 months of age (or the age our attending veterinarian recommends for spay/neuter) to ensure future altering of the dog. A refundable spay/neuter deposit is required for intact dogs/puppies.
