Breed: Labrador
DOB: 7 years
Donation: £350
Background:
Scooby arrived in our care when his elderly owners were unable to look after him. Unfortunately he had been spending most of his time crated so he had a lot of pent up energy, although he is a calm boy now.
Character:
Scooby is a happy, friendly and fun dog who loves people but is equally happy to explore independently. He also loves to play with his ball!
With other animals:
Scooby has been tested with other dogs here and has been a really good boy – he responds nueturally to other dogs and we think he’d be just fine living with a calm and friendly dog. Scooby did meet cats and didn’t seem overly bothered but we aren’t sure how he’d respond if they started running!
Type of home:
Scooby is a medium-energy pooch who likes his walks so a fairly active home is best for him. Scooby has never lived with children before but is friendly, so could live with older, sensible children subject to successful introductions.
Training needs:
Scooby is very strong on the lead so aside from needing a physically able/strong handler, he needs further training with this. He does also scent mark a lot and so will need ongoing work and management around this in his new home.
Adoption information:
Scooby is a resident at our kennels near Wells and applicants will need to come and meet him here.
