Scooby Doo is a sweet, young boy who is a work in progress. He came to us after his terminally ill owner was unable to continue to care for him. Tyson's Place Animal Rescue's mission is to assist terminally ill people with finding new families for their pets. 

His owner had been ill and homebound for quite some time and spoiled Scooby a lot. In fact, he seems to have forgot that he is a dog. He ate lots of people food  and drank people drinks and spent almost all day sitting in her lap. As a result, he thinks a lap puts him in a position of power and people give him his confidence. We are looking for an owner that is willing to put in the time and effort to let Scooby, a very smart dog, relearn his manners - including keeping him off laps, couches, and beds until he has earned that privilege. We would love to tell you more about it via email, so please let us know if you are interested. Scooby would love to take an obedience class with you (we are willing to pay) so he can gain confidence as a dog.

Scooby would do best in a home without young kids - older kids that understand him may be ok.

He already knows how to sit before getting his leash on and is housebroken and good with other dogs. He is also crate trained. Like most jack russells, he has boundless energy. His owner was too ill to take him on walks, so he is ready to run! He is overjoyed to get the leash put on him because he knows that means an outdoor adventure, and you basically have to jog to keep up with him. Let him loose in a fenced yard and he tears off, runs laps, and returns to you. If you are looking for a dog with energy, he is your boy. He is sweet, friendly, and eager to please. He wants a forever home that understands the journey he has been on and looks to making his future as happy as possible.

He is fixed, current on vaccinations (including the canine influenza vaccination), had complete blood work, fecal check, urine check, and an ear infection treated.
