Description:
Looking for a dog who’s equal parts running buddy, cuddle companion, and gentle soul? Meet Scout, a handsome and affectionate mix who’s ready to find his forever family. Scout is an athletic guy who lives for a good run—he used to log 4 miles a day, five days a week, and it was truly the highlight of his day. If you enjoy staying active and having a four-legged fitness partner by your side, Scout’s your guy! When he’s not zipping around the yard doing zoomies, this sweet boy turns into the biggest cuddle bug. Sit on the floor, and he’ll be in your lap before you even get comfortable. He thrives on closeness and just wants to be where his people are, giving and receiving love. Scout’s heart is as big as his energy. With animals he knows, he is remarkably patient and kind. He tolerates being pestered by a sassy cat, happily wrestles with a 140-lb dog buddy, and gently entertains his more excitable canine cousins—even when he’s tired. He’s also a natural peacemaker, calmly stepping in to defuse doggy tensions. That said, Scout is selective with unfamiliar dogs and can be reactive in new situations. He’s had consistent training in the past and did well, but ongoing work will be important for his continued growth and safety. With structure, space to run, and a committed family, Scout will thrive. He's a goofy, loving, endlessly special boy who just needs the right home—one that understands his needs and is willing to invest in him the way he deserves. If you're ready for a loyal companion who will shower you with love, snuggles, and the occasional high-speed zoomie, Scout is ready to meet you! When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
