My story

Just look at that smile! Scooby and another dog were abandoned not once but twice yet he is still a happy and sweet boy. His first owners sold the house and moved off and just left them behind but luckily the people who bought the house said they would keep them. Now they are getting a divorce and they simply moved off and left them in the yard to fend for themselves. Scooby is very treat motivated and smart. He knows how to do a sit and give paw. His energy level can be described as medium/low and he walks well on a leash. Scooby also rides well in a car. This gentle soul is good with people, kids and other dogs too. We do not know what he thinks of cats. Scooby is about 5 years old and 68 pounds. Please help Scooby find the loving family he deserves. Update: Scooby tested positive for 2 common tick borne diseases - Lyme & Erhlicchia. He is on a short course of oral antibiotic which can be sent home with him for completion. Scooby is currently available for adoption. We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821). Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes. If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to please submit an application on our website today so that we can try and process and pre-approve any potential adopters prior to our next adoption event. PLEASE USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. ANY OTHERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. Application link here: http://www.oscaranimalrescue.org/oscar-1-application.html Adoption Process: 1.Fill out an application 2.Meet & Greet 3.Adoption contract & adoption fee Scooby's adoption fee is $200. This covers all their age-appropriate shots, microchipping and vetting. **If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing.
