Meet Scrappy Doo! He is a two-year-old, 20 lb. Red Min Pin mix who is looking for his forever home after having a rough start in life. Scrappy was living outside and not given proper care, but his owners willingly surrendered him so he could find a better life.
This guy is a bundle of fun and energy. He's looking for a person to adore (probably a woman) who will adore him back, laugh at his antics, and enjoy his companionship.
Scrappy is great with kids and is fine with other dogs, although he rarely plays with them. He is house-trained and even uses a dog door independently. He interacts with all the humans in his foster home but picks one to be his main squeeze.
Scrappy enjoys lap time and snuggles, but also enjoys some independence and will nap on comfy dog beds. He dotes on his person and loves being held after coming inside from the cold. He's very well mannered in general and has learned some basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay.'
He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Unfortunately, Scrappy tested positive for heartworms and is being treated with a slow kill method because the infection is advanced. There is risk of developing heart failure, but also a chance he will have a good lifespan.
When this sweet boy came to LHS he was in bad shape and needed extensive care for his diagnostics and treatment to stabilize him. It was determined that he will need to be on medication for the course of his life - $25 a month - to keep his heart strong. We have waived his adoption fee but we are requesting a donation of the adopter's choice to LHS to help contribute the amount invested in all of his medical expenses that led to saving his life.

We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.
