Scooby is 6 ½ years old and is up to date on all his shots. He has been at the shelter, off and on, for about 2 ½ years now. Scooby has an alpha mentality. He needs a strong figure to be his leader and be firm with him; someone who won’t “baby talk” him. Scooby is a little bit wary of new people and it takes him time to get to know you. But if you take him on a walk or give him treats, he is your best friend. When he gets comfortable around you, he loves to play fetch and “keep away” with tennis balls. He likes to sleep on a cushy blanket cuddled up with a stuff animal. Scooby gets along with other dogs, mostly females, small dogs and puppies. He is very protective of them while they are in the kennel with him. Scooby can be protective of people he knows and likes as well, so new people need to take it easy around him. He displays his intelligence and obedience by following the directions of the staff.
