Scout is a handsome hound/weimaraner mix who weighs about 40-45 lbs and is estimated to be 5-6 years old, though the gray on his muzzle and the scars on his ears and face might suggest otherwise. This sweet, special boy has had a rough start and is looking for a patient, loving angel to show him the world can be a kind place. Scout can be slow to trust due to past trauma, but once he bonds with you, his adoration is unwavering. He loves to be a couch potato companion, following you around like a shadow and occasionally "borrowing" your slippers or other scented items to keep close while he naps. He's been adopted and returned once due to fearful aggression towards men and children, and after over a year in foster care, he's still waiting for his perfect match.
Ideal Home
Scout needs a quiet, calm home environment with a female-only household. He is not a good fit for homes with men, children, or cats. He does enjoy the company of other dogs and can thrive with a confident canine friend, though he would also be happy as an only dog. A strong adopter will be needed for walks, as Scout tends to pull. Visitors will require Scout to be crated in a separate room, as he relies on aggression to feel safe when fearful.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned, but as a rescue, Scout has had vaccinations, a wellness exam, and parasite prevention. He is microchipped and was neutered.
Training & Support
Scout has a history of fearful aggression towards men and children, and he needs a home that will commit to setting him up for success by managing his environment, especially around visitors. He needs someone who will love him for who he is and advocate for him.
