Notes: Scooby is a friendly girl, about five years old, who loves going for walks and playing with her buddies. She does enjoy her walks but really looks forward to running around in a fenced yard with some kids or another dog. She tries to be house trained and should master that when she is in a home and can get outside more often. Scooby is hoping someone will come meet her and fall in love with her sweet nature and outgoing personality so she can live in a real house instead of a shelter.
