Meet Scout, an 11-month-old beagle mix with floppy ears, a black-and-white coat, and a whole lot of heart packed into his 34-pound frame. Scout is a total sweetheart who lives for human companionship—he loves snuggling in laps, hanging out underfoot, and greeting his people with full-body, butt-wiggling excitement. He enjoys toys, chasing balls, and settling in with a cozy blanket or a good bone. Scout is housebroken, doesn’t mark, walks beautifully on a leash, and is motivated by treats and praise—he truly wants to make his humans happy.Scout does well with other dogs and enjoys playful bursts a few times a day, but he’s not pushy and tends to follow rather than lead. He can be a little timid in new situations or around unfamiliar people, dogs, or noises, but with patience and reassurance he warms up quickly and shows his affectionate side. He’s crate trained and currently crated when his humans are away or at night. While he doesn’t love the crate and may cry for about 10 minutes before settling, he’s making steady progress and benefits from consistency and a calm routine. Scout is a gentle, loving young dog who would thrive in a home ready to offer him reassurance, structure, and lots of snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will reward your patience with endless affection, Scout might just be your perfect match. ??My adoption fee is $350. AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). We’ve been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and we’ve started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!
