About Scotty
Meet Scotty! He was brought to Colorado from New Mexico on February 5th - saved from euthanasia due to overpopulation in the shelters.
Scotty is a handsome 2 year old Aussie mix and weighs about 50 pounds. This boy has the most loveable face, the sweetest big brown eyes, and a great personality to match.
Scotty is a happy boy, incredibly affectionate, goofy, and loves with all his heart. When you talk to him or give him affection he has the cutest grin on his face. He enjoys being near his people and he’s friendly to every person he meets. In the shelter he was paired with other dogs and did great. He also loves his foster mom's dog. It is important to note, however, that he did clash with another male foster in the home. This is the only dog we've seen him have any issues with so far. As with all dogs, slow and steady introductions are so important. Scotty is no different.
Scotty also LOVES kids! However, he does tend to herd them. This is nothing to fault him for - he's just doing what he was bred to do! Because of this we would recommend that if there are children living in the home they should be teenagers (13+).
He is completely house-trained and absolutely AMAZING in the crate! He goes right in and is quiet all night! He is very food motivated (in fact, he’ll need a slow or puzzle feeder). Food is definitely the key to his heart which makes him very trainable. He jumps up a little still but we’re working on that!
His breed does have a higher energy level so he would love to have another active dog to play with or live on acreage where he can run around. After he gets some good outdoor time, he's ready to go inside and lay at your feet. Some of Scotty’s favorite things are giving kisses, getting tummy rubs, observing what his humans are up to, going on walks, and playing with his people or other dogs.
Scotty can't wait to give his heart to his furever family! He has so much to offer and is the sweetest boy. He is definitely a thankful pup ready to live out his best life with this second chance he's been given! Will you be his ‘furever’ home?
