Happy boy Scout, a young adult male Staffordshire Terrier mix, seeks a loving, playful family to indulge his cravings for cuddles and affection! If you are looking for a 50-pound lap dog, Scout may just be your pup. Be prepared for skills, snuggles, and slow leisurely walks. House-trained with nice manners, Scout would prefer a home with older children (14 and up). Scout wants to keep his toys close to him but we can talk about what he loves to trade toys for! He also enjoys learning, keeping his brain busy, and relaxing at the end of a long day with his best human friends. Scout was neutered during his stay at Homeward Trails.
