Previously known as Cotton Eye, this handsome 10-month-old Malinois mix is back at H.A.L.O. and hoping his next chapter will be the one that sticks!

Scout is an affectionate, playful, and incredibly smart young guy with a big personality and plenty of puppy energy. He loves his people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always ready for his next adventure. When it comes to cats, Scout’s previous owner noted that he would not make a good feline companion, however, when temperament tested at the shelter with cats Scout merely seemed curious, so that part is a little up in the air. He can be a little cautious when meeting strangers, but once he warms up, his sweet and loving personality shines through. He’s also housebroken and has already started learning German commands and practicing his “left heel”!

As a young Malinois mix, Scout needs an active, experienced home that understands his breed’s needs and is committed to keeping both his body and mind busy. He also struggles with being left alone, which causes him to become vocal when crated. His future family will need patience and a willingness to help him build confidence and gradually learn that being alone isn’t so scary.

Scout has so much potential and so much love to give. He’s looking for someone who will embrace his enthusiasm, continue his training, and show him that home really can be forever. Could that someone be you? ❤️
