Shelter pup ‘Scooby’ has panic attacks and needs home to ease his stress or he will be put to sleep

At the Great Plains SPCA, located in the Kansas City metro area, a sweet dog named Scooby needs help finding a home to call his own. Scooby suffers from severe shelter stress and has been deteriorating rapidly. He has panic attacks at the shelter and must be heavily medicated throughout the day.

Sadly, Scooby has been at the shelter for more than 300 days, and there has only been one meet and greet since then and no offers to foster.

Veterinarians and behaviorists have been able to adjust Scooby’s medications to help ease his stress, but he continues to struggle. Scooby’s plight has been shared on social media multiple times, and he was even featured in Newsweek, but still no interest.

On Friday, the Great Plains SPCA put out another plea on their Facebook page asking readers to share his story with friends, family and more social media contacts. They are running out of options, and Scooby’s mental health continues to decline each day he is at the shelter.

if we cannot find an adopter or long-term foster by October 9th, three days from now, we will have to consider humane euthanasia.
