Scout the Escape Artist Dog Finds His Forever Home

Meet Scout the Escape Artist

Scout the dog has quite a story! This clever pup from Michigan managed to escape from a shelter not once, not twice, but three times!

An Unlikely Destination

Each time Scout made his getaway, he went straight to a nursing home called Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility. It was almost as if he had picked this place as his home!

A New Resident at Meadow Brook

Scout first arrived at the shelter as a stray, but he wasn't going to stay there for long. On one of his very first nights, he surprised everyone by escaping and skillfully scaling multiple tall fences. Scout then trotted about a quarter mile down the street, straight to Meadow Brook. He strolled through the automatic doors like he owned the place and made himself right at home on a couch in the lobby.

A Couch Made for Scout

A nurse eventually found him and brought him back to the shelter. But the adventure didn’t end there! Scout repeated his escapades two more times, finding his way back to that same comfortable couch.

The Perfect Match

By the third time, the staff at Meadow Brook decided it must be meant to be. An administrator officially adopted Scout as the nursing home’s resident dog.

Welcoming Willow

Scout’s presence at Meadow Brook has been so special that he even won the award for Resident of the Month! He also recently helped welcome the facility's second furry friend, a rescued cat named Willow.

Bringing Comfort and Joy

Both Scout and Willow have brought so much joy and comfort to the residents. Many of them had to leave their own pets behind, but with Scout and Willow, they feel right at home again.
