About

Meet Scout

Scout is a 2 year old male Aussie who weighs in at 36 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $450.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Hi!!!  I’m Scout and have just arrived at ARF.  I’m staying at my new foster home and have settled in well with their dog too.  I love playing with people and other dogs, and walks around the neighborhood are my favorite; with all those wonderful sniffs I can explore every nook I find.  I am told by my foster parents that I walk really well on the leash and am easy to train.  I have bonded well with my fosters and look forward to bonding tightly with my new parents.  If you give me treats, I will take them gently from your hand and if there is food to be had, I am not food aggressive, even with other dogs around.  Car rides are a blast, and I am happy to share my back seat with other dogs and/or people.  I am always very happy to greet new friends and know how to scare off strangers with my barks.  I don’t really like being in a crate, but I do settle in after a short bout of complaining.  Give me some free time to be active and I will show you my off switch too.  Curling up by a window or at your feet is the best way to end a day of playing.   I arrived from my previous home with a “brother” – Ollie – (different dog parents) and we are both guests in our foster home together.  I love being with my brother but will quickly adjust to a new home without him if we both end up in great new homes apart. Give me a new home and I will give you love forever. Scout  is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  housebroken  and  neutered .  This dog's new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this dog fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
