Scotch's Story

Scotch has a sweet scruffy face and deep soulful eyes. He’s hoping this captures the attention of a very special adopter! Scotch is profoundly fearful, especially of people. He can’t tell us his story, but he’s hoping for a person who can give him time and space as he builds trust and confidence in humans. He may always appreciate a little more space than the average dog and he’s got his paws crossed for people who respect that. Scotch has lived with other animals in foster, and would love a canine companion in his forever home too. 

Are you looking for a small canine companion? Do you have a quiet home and lots of patience to allow this shy boy to learn that people aren’t so scary? Are you willing to let Scotch have space as he decompresses? Do you have a dog currently to help Scotch learn the ropes? You might be Scotch’s perfect match and he is very excited to meet you!

Meet Scotch

Scotch can’t wait to meet you!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:

1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!

2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.

3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.

Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Want another way to spend time with our adoptable (or soon-to-be-adoptable) pets? Consider fostering.
