Scrappy (PENDING!) Border Collie & Shepherd Mix Chicago, IL

**SCRAPPY HAS AN APPLICATION PENDING!** Scrappy is currently accepting applications for his forever home! Friendly, social, happy, and handsome, Scrappy is the total package! This guy was rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in Kentucky. He is now in a foster home in the Chicago suburb of Wheeling while he patiently waits for his forever family. His breed and past are unknown, but we suspect he's a combination of several breeds, a true super mutt! Border Collie, Shepherd, Retriever are all possible ancestors in his lineage. His exact age is also a mystery but he is estimated to be around 2 years old. Scrappy is the kind of dog we think will fit in most households easily and will make a great companion for a family looking for a dog that is still active, playful, and fun-loving but one that is past the young puppy shenanigans. An added bonus to his stellar personality is his size; just under 50 pounds, he's a medium-sized pooch, ideal for urban dwellings. He's got great house manners as well. Quiet, housebroken, crate-trained, not destructive or anxious when alone, walks nicely on leash, friendly with other dogs. What more could you possibly want in a dog?! Scrappy loves toys, going for long walks, and cuddling with his humans. He'll be a phenomenal, loyal companion for an active household. Scrappy was recently neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), and microchipped. With his clean bill of health, he's ready for his next chapter: a forever home of his own!
