Baypath Adoptable Animal of the Week
Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week we feature 1-year-old Scout.
Here is Baypath’s description of Scout:
“Have you been scouting for a new best friend to take on an adventure? Here he is — Scout! This young man had his own adventure from Florida to Massachusetts and is now looking for his new family. He is a bright and happy boy who loves to please and explore.
“Scout is looking to be part of your troop and looking forward to hikes and long walks! He is a young and active guy who is ready for adventure! Scout loves toys so much that he carries one with him on all of his walks. He especially loves tennis balls!
“He is still young and very smart so would love to have someone who will help train him and teach him lots of cool tricks! So far, he knows how to sit and give paw!
“Scout wants to find his people who he can cozy up with after a fun day! He wants to be by your side every step of the way. He is great with other dogs!”
For more information on Scout and any of the other available pets at Baypath, email adopt@baypathhumane.org or visit baypathhumane.org/adopt.
