Description:
Meet Scooby Doo — a four-year-old pitty mixWhen Scooby Doo came to us, he wasn’t just thin. He was severely emaciated, weak, and heartbreakingly shut down — the kind of condition that only happens when a dog is left to suffer for a very long time. The sheriff’s department brought him to us, and our staff was devastated by what we saw. His crate had been his whole world, and that world was neglect and hunger.But Scooby Doo didn’t give up.And neither did we.In just one month, with steady meals, love, and patience, Scooby has nearly doubled his weight. His eyes are brighter. His tail (which had to be amputated due to an old “happy tail” injury that was never treated properly) now wiggles with joy — and trust. The difference is almost unbelievable.Scooby Doo has learned that food is promised, not fought for. However, because of his history of starvation, he will need to be fed separately — not because he’s ever shown aggression, but because trauma leaves its mark, even when healing is underway. We want to set him up for success in a home that understands that slow trust is still trust.He is:• Good with cats• Seems to be good with other dogs (meet & greet recommended)• Learning how to play• LOVING hikes, sunshine, and squeaky toys• Obsessed with stuffed Kongs and slow chews (thank you to everyone who donated!)Scooby Doo is goofy, gentle, and so incredibly loving. He just needed someone to show him how to be a dog again — how to feel safe, full, and cherished.He didn’t get out of his old life by luck — he got out because he was meant to have a new one.Now, he’s waiting for the family who will love him not because they pity him, but because they see him — his resilience, his softness, his spark.Scooby Doo has been to the darkest places no animal should ever go.But his future? It’s bright!✨Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00.
