Notes: Scout is an outgoing friendly boy who loves people as well as other dogs. He is a fairly big boy, at about 55-60 pounds. He loves his walks but does need to be reminded not to pull occasionally. Scout is friendly and should be fine with children although he may be a bit big for really small children. He is mostly house trained but may need some reminders when he moves into a new home. Scout would love a forever family who want to give him lots of TLC and attention and in a home with a big fenced yard so he can run and play with a dog friend and some kids.
