Can you say no to this face?

We can't!!! Especially after reading his story:

This sweet boy has a real heartbreaking story to tell you - if he could talk. This is what we know: Scooby grew up with a little girl in the country. When the family moved to another town, Scooby was no longer wanted - so they kept him in a pen in the back of their yard. Then one day the family moved again - and left Scooby and the family cats behind. A kind neighbor rescued Scooby and the cats and brought them to the Humane Society. A dog like Scooby does not have much time in such a place - and when his heartworm test turned out positive - his days were numbered. Fortunately, Scooby caught a ride North to ROAR (Ridgefield Operation Animal Rescue,
http://www.roar-ridgefield.org/ ) - and now he's looking for a nice warm place to retire. He's great on a leash and very calm and well-mannered. He grew up with children and cats. He's great with other dogs. He has so much to give - even after so much has been taken away from him. We will finish his treatment for heartworm with the help of our vets before sending ScoobyDoo off to retirement. Approximate age: 6-8 yrs Breed: Corgi-Chow mix

After a 4 page application, 2 non-family references and a visit to our home, Scooby will be part of our family starting this weekend! He will be on bed rest for the next month while his heartworm treatment runs its course. After that, he will be active, playing with other dogs at doggie daycare, and hopefully with our neighbors dog Peanut as well! He can't wait to meet all of you!

Welcome to the Murphy home, little Scooby! Don't chew on Daddy's XBOX controller or Mommy's leather boots and you will be loved forever!
