Scooby

Scooby is an amazing, fully potty trained, mostly leash broke, loving, happy girl! She loves to be near her people. She’s perfect in her crate but she’d rather sleep in your bed. Scooby struggles with her prey drive. When she’s on a leash and sees a squirrel, she just can’t help but try to chase it! Unfortunately cats are irresistible when they run. Scooby lives with cats and for the most part does fine but occasionally it’s just too much to resist.
