Hi, I’m Scooby—a sweet, playful pup with a big heart and even bigger dreams of finding my forever family! I found myself on death row in a regional pound after my owner abandoned me. Luckily Off The Chain K9 Rescue saved me just in the nick of time and I haven't looked back.
I’m a loyal and sweet pup who adores spending time with my people. My favorite place to sleep? On my human foster sibling's bed—it’s the best spot in the house! I really love the children here and like to sunbake with them on the trampoline or relax under our favourite tree. During the day when everyone as it school, I hang out in the yard with the other dogs. I love to play and am very goofy. My rope toy is my favourite! While I am an obedient and friendly boy, I'm still a teenager- you'll need to continue my training and maintain boundaries.
Health and Training
I’m a healthy, happy boy! I've been working on my training and now know some basic commands. I’m even learning to shake—how clever is that? I don't appear to have had any training before coming to Off The Chain, so my foster family is helping me learn, and as my new owner you'll get to help me find my feet the way you need me to! I’m practising my leash skills and am very strong so might benefit from a Halti and further training. At night I sleep either at the foot of the kids' bed, or outside with the other dogs. We are a busy household so I just go with the flow.
Ideal Home
I’d thrive in a home with another dog as I love having company and I would be a great family dog. I currently live with young children and while I adore them, long term I am more suited to a home with older children (11yr+) so I don't knock them over or try to play too rough. I don't know my own size sometimes! I’m looking for a family who can continue my training, provide me with daily mental and physical stimulation, and give me lots of love and patience. A decent fence is important to keep me safe.
If you’re searching for a loyal, playful pup to join your family, I could be your perfect match. Apply to adopt me today—I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾
