Description:
Scout is a 4 1/2 year old pure bred German Shorthaired Pointer. He is neutered and has a 24 Watch microchip. He is up to date on his shots including bordetella. He does well in his crate and can go up to 15 hours without making a mess. He knows sit, stay and down. He has several food allergies but as long as you don't feed him what's on the list he does well. He is an active dog who loves to run and play. He loves to run outside and play fetch. He goes on point just like he should when he sees a bird, rabbit or squirrel. He loves the water and has discovered the geese in the ponds in the wetland behind my house. When I take him to the dog park he splashes in the ponds and creek on the grounds. He gets along great with other dogs, cats and children. He was very thin when he first came here but with some extra rations and love he is filling out nicely. He will do great in any home that can watch what he gets fed and has the time to play with him.

He started an obedience class on March 14th. He already knows sit, down and stay. He needs work on the leash when something else has his attention so a firm hand will be needed for walking him for now. He loves to cuddle up for a snuggle at the end of the day. He is not at all food aggressive, if anything he is passive about it. He will back away from the bowl for my dog to finish his meal. He does not beg or even notice that I am eating.  

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
