Adopt & Foster
Scotty 2
German Shepherd Dog • Male • Young • Medium
Please meet Scotty! We’ve attached some debut photos as well as some older ones from early February when Scotty was taken in to SCOUTS HONOR RESCUE. His foster mom has done a remarkable job in getting him healthy and he is now ready to find his forever home. Scotty is a full-blooded, 9-month old German Shepherd whose No.1 interest is waiting for squirrels, watching for squirrels and chasing squirrels… he probably even dreams about squirrels. He can’t wait to get into the backyard each morning to run around and look for squirrels. He also likes to practice trying to scale the fence to reach any squirrels sitting high up in the trees.
He loves all kinds of toys, especially squeaky toys and stuffed animals. He loves to play all day with his smaller foster sister, but has to be reminded sometimes to play gently. He is approximately 45 lbs. and has lots of energy, enthusiasm and muscle. He has a very sweet disposition and really wants to please. He is also a very good watchdog but after all he is a shepherd. Like most German Shepherd dogs, he seems to do best when he has a job or duty to focus on, whether it is following his person, learning tricks or practicing agility training. Scotty is highly intelligent and a very quick learner. Within a few days, Scotty learned that if a pillow is over his foster mom’s head, he isn’t suppose to wake her up (even if it is 6 a.m. and the squirrels are out). He has also learned that even though he isn’t suppose to sleep on the bed, he can sneak up there around 5:00 a.m. when no one is awake to notice. In Scotty’s mind, being on the bed means he’ll be extra ready to get up and greet the day and his foster mom the moment she opens her eyes.
Scotty would probably do better in an active home with another dog to play with and if there is a cat some work will need to be done as he has a very high prey drive. Since he is still a high-energy puppy and came to Scout’s Honor with no previous obedience training, he still needs consistent handling and reminders to bring out his best behavior. In his quiet moments, he enjoys being a lap dog and likes to curl up on the couch with his foster mom and get belly rubs. He is doing very well with his crate and potty training but he still has accidents occasionally. Overall, he is a very happy, spunky dog that is excited to finally be able to enjoy being a puppy. Like all Scouts Honor Rescue animals, Scotty is fully vetted, up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped. Won’t you please help spread the word that Scotty is ready to find his forever home.
