My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Scrappy – Your Loyal, Playful Sidekick!

Scrappy is an adorable 8-year-young pup with the perfect mix of smarts, playfulness, and cuddly charm. Don’t let his age fool you—he’s full of energy and always up for an adventure, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, zoomies in a fenced yard, or a road trip (he’s the best passenger and snoozes calmly the whole ride!).

This sweet boy has a wonderful training foundation—he knows sit, is working on “lay,” waits patiently at mealtime, and is crate and muzzle trained. He’s eager to keep learning and thrives with structure. Scrappy is also a toy enthusiast who especially loves squeaky toys, fetch (for a few fun tosses), and playtime that keeps his mind engaged.

Scrappy gets along beautifully with other dogs and would love to have a canine buddy or two to hang out with. With his dog friends, he’s playful, polite, and happy to just be part of the pack.

At home, Scrappy is affectionate, calm, and loves to be by your side. He’s a champion snuggler who will happily share the bed if you let him, and he’ll melt your heart with belly rub requests and sweet kisses. He’s not a big barker and has a cheerful, happy-go-lucky vibe that makes every day brighter.

Scrappy would do best in a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and play, and he’s looking for an adopter who appreciates his loyal, protective nature and will give him a little time to build trust with new people. Once you’re in his circle, he’ll shower you with love, loyalty, and playful energy for life.

Scrappy is such a special dog—funny, loving, smart, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will keep you smiling and make your days brighter, Scrappy just might be your perfect match.
