Scout's Story

Good boy Scout!!!! This sweet guy has been with his foster for 7 weeks now, so we know him inside and out — and we adore him. You may notice his name is different — we changed it from Scamp to Scout because it suits his personality so much better. It just fits who he truly is. Scout loves belly rubs and long naps. He’s great with female dogs and fully house-trained. But… he does not like cats, male dogs, children, or unexpected visitors. And that’s okay — Scout simply knows his boundaries and what makes him feel safe. When we rescued him from the London pound, he was terrified and shaking. We don’t know his past, but we’ve spent time understanding who he is and what he needs. He was also adopted and returned, so he truly deserves a family who “gets” him. Scout is a sweet boy with a big heart — he just needs someone who can be a confident, calm leader and help him feel secure. All of his vetting is complete, and he is ready to find his forever home. What’s included with every adoption at Myrtle Animal Rescue & Sanctuary: • Core vaccines • Rabies vaccine (age dependent) • 4DX test for heartworm & tick-borne diseases (age dependent) • Flea, tick & heartworm prevention • Parasite treatment • Dental surgery if recommended by our veterinary partners (for adult/senior dogs) • Mandatory positive-reinforcement training session included • Ongoing support from our team • Microchip • One month of Trupanion insurance coverage Adoption fee: $850 — Adults (1–7 years), spayed/neutered
