[@bobshanery5152]

Define "rescue dog" Think that word is overused. Going to a no kill dog pound and getting a puppy is not a rescue. Going to a kill shelter or getting a dog that is going to be put down due to behavior problems.. Now that would be a rescue.

Consider adopting abroad too! Some countries have so many street animals they just shoot them sometimes. However this means that you can get a rescue suited to what you want or even cat friendly dog/ dog friend cat! (They live together sometimes)

We brought in a stray cat when I was a kid named Skitty (because we was skittish). My dad used to call him "Skitty the Seven Dinner Kitty" because he would hit up all the houses in the neighborhood. As for Scooby, I doubt anyone else was able to connect with him like this family. They were putting out food and visiting him, which is probably why he's so healthy looking. I wouldn't be surprised though if others in the neighborhood were leaving food/shelter out.

He is too healthy looking to be a hungry stray... living in Guatemala, dogs have mange and you can count all their ribs. No way he could have survived that winter. Perhaps he came from a nearby home that did not give him any love, but did give him food. Love how he holds his ears up!

[@0xsergy]

yeah but that's in the city. looks like he was out in the country a bit so he likely was able to catch food here or there. i wouldn't be surprised if other people fed him too since this likely wasnt the only couple looking to adopt him.

[@F907.]

No its definitely possible it is also seen with cats, they are just very skilled in finding prey and sleeping spots. We have had a cat who was a stray but his weight was fine, and survived a lot of winters out in the cold, if there is enough food (squirrels, wild rabbits etcetera) they look fed, but most of the time arent!

[@hibiscusflower5911]

My dog would be perfectly fine outdoors, infact we keep her on leash so she doesn’t go hunting and catch the wildlife - which she’s able to easily if she’s given the chance.

[@Bizzon666]

We frequently forget how tough they are and how good instincts they have, but it absolutely depends on the environment. In warm country with good food opportunities he could have been a stray, but I agree that he is in too good condition. Either bad home, stray/dumped just recently, or super tough healthy stray with great survival skills in good conditions.

I’ve followed their story on tiktok since they started trying to take Scooby in. He’s been living on their property and sleeping in the woods. They would leave food out for him. He’s only about a year old and a half and he was on their property for quite some time. They also don’t really have neighbors. Doesn’t seem like a very densely populated area, so the likelihood of scooby having another home nearby is slim. They believe that he was dumped nearby so he was probably being fed by whoever had him prior to dumping him, and fed by them thereafter

I feel sometimes people become fearful and dump them. The failure to train them properly does them a great disservice...

" A year and a half old" Would mean he was around 6 months when they first saw him.

Most dogs (albeit not all) wouldn't be afraid around hand like that... Besides, if he had a family, he'd have a microchip, and they would have found the real owners when he visited the vet. it's very unlikely someone lost their dog
