About Scooby

Name: Scooby

Age: Almost 2 years old

Weight: ~10 lbs of pure snack-loving energy

“Ruh-roh!” Did someone say they were looking for a best friend? If you’re searching for a companion who is equal parts professional snuggler and mystery-solving sidekick, look no further than Scooby!

This Chihuahua/terrier mix is a total sweetheart who has mastered the art of being a shadow. He loves to be close to his humans - if you’re sitting on the couch, he’s already claimed the spot right next to you. He’s a friendly guy who gets along swimmingly with cats, as well as dogs of all sizes, making him the perfect addition to any pack.

Because Scooby is a little bit of a “scaredy-cat” when he first meets new people or enters a new environment, he’s looking for a patient human who will give him the time and TLC he needs to feel brave. Once he knows he’s safe, he’ll be your most loyal partner on every adventure (especially if those adventures involve Scooby Snacks).

His Mystery-Solving Skills:

  • Crate Proficiency: He is a total pro in his crate - it’s his favorite place to hang out while you’re out solving mysteries.
  • Leash Training: He’s currently working hard on his leash skills. He’s making great progress, though he still occasionally needs a little extra encouragement to hit the road.

What’s included in his $400 Adoption Fee:

Scooby comes fully prepared for his forever home! His fee covers his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, and microchip. He is also fully up to date on his flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, so he’s ready to face any “ghosts” or ghouls that come his way.

Are you ready to be the Shaggy to his Scooby? Apply to meet him today!

Every dog here costs something to care for

Vet visits, vaccines, heartworm treatment, food, the occasional emergency. ARF runs on donations and fundraisers. That’s what pays for all of it.
