Scooby *Puppy*. New name: Larry's Web Page

German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation.

If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) "Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?" for additional information.

About Scooby Puppy. New name: Larry
Status: Adopted! Adoption Fee: $425 Species: Dog Current Age: 8 Years 6 Months (best estimate)

Scooby is a gorgeous, approx 3.5 month-old pup whom we rescued from a reservation in SD. Reservation dogs lead a very hard life, with no shelter, little food, and no vet care. Many of them die young due to accidents, deprivation, and/or sickness among other causes. We are so glad that we were able to help Sccoby!

Scooby is a little on the shy side. He likes to sleep at his humans' feet and makes lots of cute squeaky sounds. Scooby is sweet, but more on the reserved side and he enjoys his space.

Scooby has put hard times on the reservation behind him and he wants to enjoy life (aka food) to the fullest! Haha. Scooby loves food, treats, and chewies more than anything else. But he's very laid back and he lets his foster siblings get away with taking his toys and bones.

Like all puppies, Scooby will need plenty of activity, socialization, boundaries, consistency and leadership in order to become a well-balanced, well-behaved dog.
