Scrappy Cairn Terrier Mix Austin, TX

Scrappy is cute, sassy and a little complicated. Scrappy ended up back at our shelter after his owner passed away unexpectedly. He's trying to sort out his new life, and we are here to help.

Scrappy is an extremely smart dog with a good base of training. Despite his 8 years of age, he still has lots of energy. He would make an excellent best friend for another dog (or two or three). We'd actually love to see him go to a home with his sibling dog, Billie (also here at the shelter), though that is not a requirement.

While he is a friend to all dogs, he is not so enamored with people. He is pretty selective about who he will allow to touch him and he needs an adopter who is willing to go slow getting to know him and give him some space during the process. Scrappy can not be around children. Fortunately, Scrappy is crate trained, muzzle trained, and can learn new rules very quickly.

He enjoys walks but really needs a house with a fenced yard where he can run around and expend all his excess energy. He is not an "apartment dog". He will not do well with cats. If you think you have a good home for Scrappy we would love to hear from you.
