Colton, 30, uploaded a slideshow of pictures of their new dog, including a cute photo of Colton holding him close to his chest and one of Jordan smiling big next to the furbaby.
"Our family is growing," Colton captioned the images. "Instagram meet scout, scout meet instagram."
Colton also tagged Scout's personal Instagram handle (@scoutbrownunderwood) as well as the handle for a Los Angeles animal rescue called Labelle Foundation.
Scout already has three photos on his account, the same ones Colton and Jordan posted.
The posts on Scout's page tell the world, "Hi my name is Scout and this is one of my dads [Jordan]. He loves hand feeding me, scratching my neck and teaching me not to pee in the house."
And alongside the photo of Colton and Scout, the caption read, "This is my other dad. He likes sneaking me treats, throwing my toys & showing me off."
Colton already has a German shepherd mix -- who is part husky and part Labrador, according to People -- named Zooka, whom the former The Bachelor star adopted in 2020.
Colton and Jordan, who got engaged in late January and announced the big news in February, may be adding a human baby to their family pretty soon.
Colton told Us Weekly earlier this week that he "definitely" wants kids with Jordan and he feels like he was "born to be a dad."
"There's nothing more in this world that I want than to raise kids," Colton shared. "I'm really excited for when that time comes."

However, Colton and Jordan haven't decided on an exact timeline for children, and Colton said he's not sure when to "throw kids into what [he's] been through these last few years."
Colton was referring to his highly-publicized and volatile split from his The Bachelor winner Cassie Randolph, who accused the former pro football player of trying to monetize their breakup before filing a September 2020 restraining order against him for allegedly tracking her whereabouts and sending her "unsettling" text messages.
About five months after Cassie dropped the restraining order, Colton announced in a Good Morning America interview in April 2021 that he is gay.
"There's no true timeline," the Beyond the Edge contestant said.
"Life happens. Who knows, maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and want to start the process. But as of right now, we're sort of enjoying this moment and taking it as it comes."
During an appearance on "The Ben and Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast" last week, Colton confirmed he's already done "a lot of research" on having a baby with Jordan.
"I had to do a lot of research in trying to figure out how the kids process worked now that I'm out and in a happily-gay relationship," Colton told Bachelor Nation's Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti.

"So there's a lot of work that goes into that. I did not know all of the steps, and I'm really, really excited about that, the process," Colton said.
"And it's pretty scientifically unbelievable -- the amount of choices you get to make now when it comes to building your embryos. So it's a very, very exciting process and something we're excited to start."

Colton and Jordan got engaged in Big Sur, CA, following the former The Bachelor star's big and "unforgettable" 30th birthday celebration with his loved ones, and Colton said on the "Almost Famous" podcast that he was totally surprised by Jordan popping the question.
Colton and Jordan exchanged gold necklaces that have their birth stones and first initials interlocked on them, and the former NFL player said his family loves and totally approves of his new fiance.
Colton also shared earlier this month how he and Jordan would like a shorter engagement and to have an outdoor wedding.
Colton and Jordan were first linked in September 2021, when they were photographed kissing and flirting during a romantic getaway to a Four Seasons resort in Maui, HI.
Colton flirted with Jordan on Instagram in November 2021, and they went Instagram official with their relationship in early December 2021.
One day after Colton's docu-reality series Coming Out Colton premiered December 3 on Netflix, Colton posted photos of the pair on his Instagram Story and wrote to Jordan, "Happy birthday to my dog-loving, family man, corn-fed love."
Colton told People last year that he feels like "the luckiest person" to have Jordan by his side.
Within a month of making their relationship public, Colton and Jordan purchased a $3 million home together in Sherman Oaks, CA.
Colton said on GMA last year that he realized he was different at the age of six and came to the conclusion he's gay when he was a freshman in high school.

In addition to having starred on The Bachelor, Colton also appeared on two other seasons of The Bachelor franchise in which he dated women on television: The Bachelorette 14 starring Becca Kufrin and Bachelor in Paradise 5 when he dated Tia Booth.
Colton has said in the press he thought being the Bachelor and dating Cassie could make him straight but he was ultimately lying to himself and he feels badly for having hurt so many women on his season.
