He spends most of his time in the bedroom or living room. He sleeps on the sofa or on his bed that is next to his previous owner's bed. He loves bath time and water, allowing his owner/family to bathe and brush him. For exercise, he goes on walks 2-3 times a day, relieving himself outside on walks and pulling very little on the leash. He has never been crated. He loves car rides. He responds to the following cues: sit, paw and stay. His previous owner loves how handsome he is. He eats Pedigree wet and Beneful wet and dry food. Upon intake, Scobby was very sweet and playful. He allowed the counselor to scan him for MC and apply the paper collar. He climbed inside the kennel with ease. Allows all handling. Scobby is at risk due to medical reasons. He has severe ataxia (wobbliness), which makes it difficult for him to walk and enter and exit his kennel safely. He would benefit from being in a home where slippery surfaces can be avoided and a harness or sling can be used to support him. His bloodwork shows no significant abnormalities. Behaviorally, Scobby showed some resource guarding during his assessment but is otherwise social and allows all medical handling. What my friends at ACC say about me: I can go home today! I am a sweet, social, older gentleman, looking for the perfect forever home! I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you. I am really treat motivated. You can use treats to teach me new things! Please check here for updated adoption hours.
