Kevin came to us as a stray very underweight. He was found on someone's porch malnourished at around 6 months of age. Kevin was adopted after a few months in foster care and renamed Scooby. Unfortunately, Scooby needs to be rehomed to a house with a yard and a family with more time to spend with him. His adopter loves him, but has had a change in her occupation and now works two jobs and lives in an apartment. He is approximately 2 years old and a DNA test revealed him to be mostly Presa Canario- even though we don't really see the breed resemblance. Kevin/Scooby has some leash reactivity and resource guarding to wards other dogs. He will be working with a trainer on this, and currently lives with a GSD that he does well with. He also attends daycare and does well without the presence of toys or food. The owner has the following to say about him: Meet Scooby — a sweet, energetic 2-year-old mixed breed pup who is neutered, fully vaccinated, and full of love to give! He’s happiest outside playing fetch, tug of war, or just soaking up the sun. At the end of the day, he’s a cuddle bug who adores snuggles, kisses, and being close to his person. That said, Scooby needs a home that can offer him the time, structure, and patience he deserves. He’d thrive with a fenced yard and ideally as the only dog in the home. While he gets along well with my GSD, I’ve noticed he does best in a one-dog household. I’ve had the joy of loving and caring for Scooby for the past year, and it breaks my heart to rehome him. But being on my own, I simply don’t have the time he truly needs. This decision hasn’t been easy, but it’s one I’m making with his best interest at heart. Scooby deserves a forever family that’s fully committed to loving him, training him, and giving him the best life possible. Let's give Scooby the chance he deserves to live a happy life. Dogs that come from starvation beginnings often show resource guarding, including reactivity when they feel that another dog may take away what is theirs. With a lot of love and patience, we believe Scooby will get through this fear phase.
