Scrappy's Story

Scrappy is a 7-year-old Maltese-Chihuahua mix with a big personality and a zest for life. He's playful, affectionate, and still very energetic and active, proving that age is just a number. Scrappy loves spending time with his people and is especially obsessed with butt rubs-once you find his favorite scratch spot, you'll have a friend for life!<br/><br/>Scrappy is house trained to go outside and is also crate trained, making him an easy addition to the right home. He has lived with teenagers and done well with them. While he isn't overly interested in other dogs, he's happiest soaking up attention from his humans. Scrappy would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a fun, loving companion who's ready to enjoy life by your side.<br/><br/>Ready to Adopt?<br/><br/>You have two options:<br/><br/>#1- VISIT IN PERSON<br/>Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm.
