Scout is a sweet, playful, and affectionate male Rat Terrier, approximately 3–4 years old and weighing about 14 lbs. He's full of personality and loves to run, play, and cuddle with his people, making him a wonderful companion. Scout is very sociable and gets along well with other dogs, children, men, and women, making him an easy fit for many families. He was rescued after a frightening encounter with larger dogs, but thankfully, he only sustained minor scratches and has shown incredible resilience and a loving spirit ever since. Now safe and healthy, Scout is ready for a new chapter filled with the care and love he deserves.
