Scout, a Cavalier-Chihuahua mix male

THE COMPANION RECRUITMENT: Small Dog Friend Required!

Scout has a job opening in his future forever home, and the #1 requirement is a small dog coworker! He is ready to find a patient family who can give him the time and the puppy-pile buddy he needs.

Meet Scout, a strikingly handsome 6-year-old, 12-pound Cavalier-Chihuahua mix who is a master of the "exclusive club" lifestyle. Scout is a sensitive, quiet soul who doesn't instantly run up to strangers for belly rubs, which means he gets passed over by people looking for an instant lap dog. But if you are a connoisseur of shy rescue dogs, you know that earning the trust of a dog like Scout is the ultimate badge of honor!{C}

Recently, Scout's brother graduated to his forever home. While we are cheering him on, Scout is currently looking for his new partner-in-crime. He is a dog's dog through and through. He relies on a canine companion of similar size to show him the ropes, boost his confidence, and help him navigate the world.

Because of this, Scout cannot be the only pet-he must go to a home with an existing small dog friend.

✨
The Real Scout (Once You're In His Inner Circle):

Puppy Pile Enthusiast:
While he takes a moment to warm up to humans, he is a social butterfly with dogs his size. His absolute favorite thing in the world is to sleep in a cozy puppy pile, right next to or directly on top of his dog friends!

The Yard Zoomie Expert:
Once he feels secure outside with a dog buddy, his playful side completely takes over! He loves chasing his friends, running through the grass, and showing off his speed.

A Gentle Gentleman:
He is healthy, fully house-trained, and a polite observer. Once you are part of his trusted crew, he happily leans into gentle face scratches.


Scout's Dream Home Check-List:

A Small Canine Buddy:
A friendly, confident dog of a similar size to be his best friend and guide.

An Adult-Only Sanctuary:
A quiet, low-traffic home with patient humans who respect boundaries and love watching a dog blossom at his own pace.

A Securely Fenced Yard:
A safe space where he can play with his dog buddy without the pressure of busy neighborhood leash walks. (Sorry he is not an apartment dog).

Scout might never be a dog you take to a crowded brewery, and he might take a while to ask for lap time-and that is exactly how he is wired! He is looking for a family who loves him for the loyal, gentle, dog-loving soul he is.

Adoption Fee:
$395 (Includes neuter, microchip, and all vaccines)
