Scott

Meet Scott! Scott is approximately 5-6 years old and is thought to be a possible Labrador/Weimaraner type mix. Without a DNA test, we cannot know for sure, but he is approximately 90 lbs of love! Scott was found as a stray and his family never came looking for him, so we don't know what his life was like prior to being found and will have to continue learning about him as we go. He's been friendly from day one and appears to LOVE greeting new people! He enjoys fetch, he loves his dog bed, and he's ready to settle into a home of his own. Sadly, Scott tested positive for Heartworm when we had him in for his neuter appointment. Because of his, interested families could be considered his "Foster Family" while he undergoes this life-saving treatment process (roughly 6-8 months long). During this time, Scott will need to be kept as calm as possible in a home setting. This means he won't be able to go running, swimming, hiking, or anything where his heartrate would be increased until after he's cleared of Heartworm. If you have a quiet household, we'd love to find a place for Scott to recover! Scott appears to be housetrained as he keeps his kennel clean, but we do recommend giving him a 'refresher course' so that he can learn the new potty schedule. Scott also appears know basic commands like Sit, Shake and Down, and loves to hop in the car for a ride! If you love big happy dogs like Scott, and you're OK with helping him through the process of Heartworm Treatment, he's here waiting to meet you! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONY after an adoption application has been generally approved: https://monroecountydogshelter.com/apply-adopt.html Scott is neutered & updated on vaccines. His adoption fee is $200.
