Scooby *Arriving 11/6* D12925 - Labrador Retriever and Retriever Dog for Adoption

Hi, I'm Scooby!

I'm a playful, confident little guy with a big personality and a love for adventure. I'm always ready to explore, make new friends, and find something fun to do. My favorite time of day is PLAYTIME, of course! Whether it's running around, playing with my people, or making friends with other dogs, I'm happiest when the fun is happening.

I'm a friendly boy who loves meeting new people and does well with both dogs and kids. I have moderate puppy energy and can get a little vocal when I'm playing, but that's just me having a great time! I'm still a young pup, so I'm curious about the world and ready to take on new adventures.

I'm making progress with potty training and having fewer accidents, but I still have plenty to learn! I'll need help with leash walking, basic obedience, and crate training as I grow. The good news is that I'm young and adaptable, so I have lots of time to learn your routine and become the best companion I can be.

I haven't met any cats yet, so we aren't sure how I'd do with them. What I do know is that I have tons of love, confidence, and puppy fun to share with my future family!

If you're looking for a happy, adventurous pup who will keep you smiling and be ready for whatever fun comes next, I might just be your guy!

Scooby is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/6/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
