Meet Scooby

Meet Scooby! A lively one-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Belgian Malinois/Whippet mix from Tustin, CA, whose boundless energy and affectionate nature make him an incredible companion for the right home. Wrapped in a sleek black-and-tan coat, this playful pup is always ready for adventure—especially if it involves a trip to the dog park, where he loves matching the energy of his canine friends, big or small. He could run for an hour (or more!) and still come home eager for more playtime. Scooby is a smart boy who already knows commands like sit, down, stay, and go to your mat, but he thrives in a calm and consistent environment where he can continue learning at his own pace. While he’s eager to bond, he tends to be hesitant around new people at first. However, once he trusts you, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate companion who loves to cuddle! He’s done great with older kids (ages 10-17) and has been gentle with an elderly family member. This high-energy pup does well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but he can be possessive over high-value treats like bones. Mealtime has been peaceful in his current home as long as food bowls are kept separate. When it comes to cats, though, Scooby doesn’t quite understand that they don’t want to play like dogs do, so a cat-free home would be best. He’s also shown a strong prey drive toward smaller animals like birds and rabbits, making a home without small pets the ideal fit. Scooby is crate trained and sees it as his safe space, especially when new guests arrive. He’s mostly house-trained, though he may have occasional small accidents when overly excited or nervous. He has a sensitive stomach and benefits from probiotics and antacids, as certain foods (especially dairy) don’t sit well with him. If you have a quiet home, patience, and plenty of space for an energetic dog to run and play, Scooby could be the perfect match for you!
