Scout

Howdy y'all! I'm Scout - an 8-year-young Yellow Labrador searching for my Forever Family.  My amazing foster mom named me "Scout" after the protagonist in "To Kill a Mockingbird" as I'm honest and loyal - and I have quite a story to tell!  You see, I spent my first few years of life with an older person who had a good heart that got him/her into trouble as (s)he ended up with more dogs that (s)he could care for.  Fortunately, I was rescued and ended up in the care of Paws & Co. where I know they'll work hard until I find the perfect Forever Family!

I'm quite the optimistic gal (when life gives us Southern ladies lemons, we just make up some sweet tea!) and I have all of those annoying puppy behaviors out of the way.   I'm potty-trained and I promise not to chew up those fancy new shoes you bought for the holiday season.  Given my calm, sweet nature, I'd prefer a more laid-back home where I can just bask in a ray of Colorado sunshine until you want something of me.  I was never leash-trained in my former home (but, like all of us, I need some exercise during this new year!) so I'll need a family who can commit to teaching me that being on a leash is nothing to be nervous about.  I get along with all other dogs I've met and, unlike my namesake,  I seem to take on more of a submissive role with my fellow species.  I have not had any witnessed encounters with cats nor young children but I'm likely to get along well with all gentle creatures - just be sure to check with the Paws & Co. folks to arrange a Meet and Greet between all family members and myself.  

Are you looking for lifetime pal to swap stories with?  I'd love nothing more than to snuggle up and hear your thoughts at the end of each day!  We can start our story-swapping ASAP if you'll just email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website and mention Scout!
