Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It got scarily close to Scrappy's euthanasia time in a dismal Texas shelter. It was through no fault of his own..he was playing with some children in front of their home and scratched the child's arm in their play. We know that if Scrappy ever had the luxury of getting his nails cut, this incident would never have occurred. Scrappy is an incredible sweet guy who loves kids...he passed his temperament testing with flying colors! But Scrappy's playful and endearing ways didn't help..he got transported to the high-kill shelter in the area.
It all became a matter of space at that point. Scrappy came into the shelter at a very crowded time (but then again..all times are very crowded) and was therefore given a very short window in which to be rescued. After a scramble by our very compassionate Texas rescuer (she has a soft spot for a really cute fuzzy guy with a great temperament!), Scrappy was pulled out of the shelter at the last second possible. His rescuer, shelter workers and Scrappy's foster haven't stopped raving about this adorable and engaging guy ever since.
Scrappy, at 18 - 24 months old and 12 lbs is the perfect size to take along just about anywhere. He is such a great candidate to find his forever home in Colorado - he's a natural-born walker with the energy and enthusiasm to accompany his favorite person on any path. We envision Scrappy with an active family with older, respectful kids or retirees who enjoy spending their time with a comical fuzzy guy. Scrappy would be a very family-oriented pup if given the chance...adventures, vacations or just hanging out at home would speak to the nature of this guy. A fun time would be exploring dog-friendly spots or time spent socializing with gentle canines and their dog-loving families. At the end of the day...there would be nothing better for Scrappy than to snuggle down with his family of humans and canines..he is unknown with cats.
Scrappy can be counted on to be a truly positive addition to any home. He is a very playful and fun guy whose joy at being part of a committed family would know no bounds. Scrappy would shine in positive reinforcement group obedience classes since his desire to please is so strong...and it would create that special bond that exists between a trained, respectful dog and his people. After passing his temperament tests and vetting with flying colors, Scrappy is in a foster home in Texas being reminded of his basic house skills. His foster family has described him as a lovebug and a sweetpea...can we possibly say more? They did say that Scrappy may need a bit of time after his long transport to Boulder, to be his happy and very loving self.
Scrappy is in desperate need of a sudsy bath and a grooming…. he will emerge with an amazing black/silver coat that over time will speak of cottony softness and good health. Scrappy will require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his lovely, hypoallergenic coat healthy and matt-free.
Scrappy will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 3/18/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
