My story

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

Birthdate: 4/7/2024

Breed: One of a kind

Tap, Tap - who's there?  Oh that's just SCAMPI pawing you gently for some treats!  Scampi is a gorgeous tuxie who had less than fancy beginnings.  Rescued and brought to safety by our determined friends at Lucky Dog Rescue, she'd been trapped in a snare of abandoned lobster traps.  Tracking her by her plaintive mewing, extricating her was quite difficult.

Since then, she has been in a foster home learning to trust. And we’ve been learning too, just how silly and curious this adorable girl is!  Scampi bats her toys around with glee and LOVES to chase her wand toy. She rolls around and shows her round belly to the sky, content to be full of food and cozy-warm. Her foster mom taught her to “ask” for treats by gently reaching out and tapping your hand. She might even sit on your lap for the right treat (churus)!  She is eager and inquisitive when it comes to her play dates with the resident cat, and chirps excitedly when she sees humans and her new feline friends.  

Scampi is looking for a home where it's understood that she’s still taking her time to adjust to her new life, but she's open and curious about being part of your world. Take a look at her bouquet of whiskers and her green-gold eyes and you’ll be as smitten as we are!

**Scampi is in a foster home locally.  Our adoptions team would be happy to arrange for you to meet her!**

Before you can adopt, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36923/generic! Once your questionnaire is pre-approved, you will be able to meet our pets. If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold any pets. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants.
