Woody - Spitz and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Scituate, Massachusetts

Woody was found as a stray in the Arlington area and was never claimed. He made his way to SAS, and we are very happy to help this cute guy find his forever home!

Guessed to be about 2-years-old and weighing 22 pounds, Woody is pretty mild-mannered and has happily greeted everyone he has met at the shelter. He seems to like other dogs as well. We don't know how he'd be with cats, but suspect he will be fine with proper introductions.

Woody does show some resource guarding over high-value objects, so he shouldn't go to a home with children.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
