A little about them

Scout is a fantastically freckled, fluffy-faced Heeler mix puppy with a huge heart and an adorable smile. This playful, affectionate girl loves being close to her people and brings endless laughter, loyalty, and unconditional love to her family.

Ideal Home

Scout gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children. She especially enjoys canine companions and often takes cues from other dogs, making a friendly dog in the home a wonderful match. Her family should appreciate her unique needs, playful puppy energy, and desire to stay close to her people.

Ongoing Health

Scout is believed to be nearly deaf and partially blind. She appears to hear only very loud noises and may see movement and shadows, though her vision can be limited at a distance and in low light. Nighttime may be especially challenging, and loud noises can startle her.

Training & Support

At 8 months old, Scout enjoys playing, chewing, and exploring, so plenty of toys are important. She responds well to hand signals, visual cues, routines, and watching other dogs. She has learned to navigate stairs and has adapted remarkably well to her environment. She is almost, if not fully, housebroken and settles nicely in the home.
