Scrappy

My story

Meet Scrappy – Your New Best Friend in the Making!Scrappy is a young, energetic pup bursting with love, personality, and potential. From the moment you meet him, he’ll greet you with a wagging tail, wiggly body, and an infectious enthusiasm for life. This happy-go-lucky guy loves people and enjoys leaning in for pets and affection—he’s all about the cuddles, even if he can’t always sit still for long!While Scrappy hasn’t had much formal training yet, he’s already picked up a few tricks like “sit” and “paw,” and he’s working hard on “down.” He’s super treat-motivated, which makes him a great student for anyone excited to help him build on his skills. With a little time and consistency, Scrappy is sure to shine.Playtime is one of Scrappy’s favorite things! He’s a joyful goofball with toys and enjoys a good game of fetch or tug. He’s learning how to trade toys nicely, and with positive reinforcement, he’ll get the hang of it in no time. He’s also doing well with food handling—just give him a little space at mealtime, especially when he’s enjoying something extra tasty.Scrappy has met a few other dogs at the shelter with mixed results. We recommend that Scrappy go to a home where he’s the only dog or one where he can have slow, carefully managed introductions to potential canine friends.If you`re looking for a playful, affectionate, and trainable dog with tons of personality, Scrappy might just be your perfect match. Come meet him and see if he’s the missing piece in your family!Scrappy is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period.
