He adopted his humans and they adopted me. Meadow Brook is located directly across the street from the Antrim County Animal Shelter. Back in the Spring of 2017 during the late evening when all was asleep, a black dog was found, curled up in a ball sleeping on one of the couches in our Front Lobby. We would call the Sherriff and he would come pick up this sad, black dog; an escape artist from the Animal Shelter. A couple evenings later, again this black dog would be found sleeping on the couch. After the 3rd time, one of our employees adopted "Scout". Unfortunately, after a couple of months Scout needed a new home. Instead of making Scout go back to the Animal Shelter, Marna Robertson, Administrator said "he belongs to Meadow Brook, he chose us!"
Scout began to reside on Glacier Hill House. He quickly made this household his. At first, he was a little shy around men, but has since learned that not all men are bad. We soon found out that Scout can open doors and later learned he could climb fences. Which would explain how he kept escaping the Animal Shelter. Scout definitely has picked his favorites and has become quite the ladies man. If Jenny Martinek, Household Coordinator is working, Scout is right on her heels and never leaves her side. Scout definitely protects his household and is always the first to get to the door when the door bell rings. He gives off one or two woofs that alerts the staff. Daily you will see Scout enjoying his playground otherwise known as the new courtyard that connects to his household. He especially loves this time of the year playing in the snow and catching snowballs. Scout truly brings joy to our residents, staff and visitors. This is his home. Because Scout has made such an impact on all of us we felt that it is very important to show our support to local Animal Shelters.
