(WOLF) — Each week, FOX56 will feature pets from local animal shelters in our area as they look for their forever home.

Scout is a dog from Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Here is what the rescue has to say about Scout!

Scout is the very definition of a lap dog. Scout was found running on 81 a few weeks back, severely flea-infested and emaciated. He’s estimated to be 1 1/2 years of age; he currently weighs 17 pounds and is a lover of cuddles. He has the cutest wrinkles and saddest puppy dog eyes. He’s definitely going to need someone to help him with confidence-building and exposing him to new sights and sounds. It appears he may be connected to the hoarding situation we encountered that spanned 2 counties and contained over 50 dogs. Scout loves being held and would benefit from someone who is home most of the time and can spend quality time with him. He wants nothing more than to curl up and cuddle, but he needs more than that to experience the full life that a dog should enjoy! He’s young enough and sweet enough to learn. Please consider helping one of these wonderful dogs. They truly deserve a committed family to help them overcome what they didn’t ask to be born into.
