Scrappy Doo

Meet Scrappy Doo — a 3‑year‑old, 13‑lb Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines the moment he wiggles his way into the room!<br/><br/>Quick Facts:<br/>Name: Scrappy Doo<br/><br/>Breed: Chihuahua Mix<br/>Age: 3 years old<br/>Weight: 13 lbs.<br/>House-Trained: Working on it, but wears a diaper like a champ for now!<br/><br/>Crate-Trained: Yes<br/><br/>Good with Dogs: Yes<br/><br/>Good with Cats: Not tested<br/><br/>Good with Kids: Not tested but likely fine with older, respectful kids<br/><br/>Energy Level: Medium (playful and cuddly)<br/><br/>Fence Required: No<br/><br/>About Scrappy Doo’s Breed:<br/>Our best guess is that Scrappy Doo is a Chihuahua mixed breed. Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with big, expressive personalities. Despite their small size, they’re known for being bold, loyal, and deeply attached to their people. Many are affectionate lap dogs, while others have a bit of sass and independence — but all tend to carry themselves with confidence. They’re alert, intelligent, and often quite spirited, making them both entertaining and endearing companions. Their small size also makes them well suited for apartment living and easy to take along on daily adventures.<br/><br/>An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that can offer gentle handling, companionship, and consistent routines. Because they’re small and can be sensitive to rough play, they typically do best with adults or respectful, older children. They thrive in homes where they can be close to their people, enjoy cozy spots, and receive regular mental stimulation through short walks, playtime, and enrichment. With proper socialization and a loving environment, a Chihuahua becomes a devoted, lively, and charming little family member.<br/><br/>What to Love about Scrappy Doo:<br/><br/>This sweet, affectionate cuddle bug smiles with his teeth, wiggles his whole butt when he’s excited, and hands out kisses like it’s his full‑time job! He loves belly rubs, loves being near his people, and will happily follow you from room to room all day long. Whether it’s the couch, the bed, your lap, or a cozy dog bed nearby, Scrappy just wants to be close.<br/><br/>Scrappy is a playful little guy who LOVES other dogs and thrives with a younger, similarly sized dog friend who enjoys running, chasing, and wrestling. He’s not afraid of big dogs either — but he doesn’t always understand when they don’t want to play, so a tolerant canine buddy is ideal. He can be timid meeting new people (especially men) and may bark at first, but once he trusts you, he’s all in for attention and affection.<br/><br/>He’s working hard on potty training. Because he wasn’t neutered when he arrived, he developed some marking habits — he’ll go outside and then sometimes lift his leg again on the way in. He’s improving, but he still needs patience, consistency, and supervision. He does well in a pen when left alone and is also crate trained. Scrappy barks at noises inside and out, so he’ll need a home that can handle the most adorable vocal, little watchdog. Don’t worry – you’ll always know when the delivery driver arrives at your house from now on! He walks nicely on a leash and loves going for walks. He hasn’t met cats or kids yet, but he’d likely do well with respectful older children who go slow at first and then enjoy snuggling with him.<br/><br/>Scrappy Doo is a joyful, loving, silly little companion who wants nothing more than to play, cuddle, and adore his people. If you’re ready for endless kisses, happy wiggles, and a loyal shadow by your side, Scrappy Doo is ready to meet you!<br/><br/>Scrappy Doo’s Delectable Highlights:<br/><br/>3‑year‑old, 13 lb Chihuahua mix with a sweet, affectionate personality<br/>Total cuddle bug who “smiles” with teeth and wiggles his whole butt<br/>Hands out endless kisses — he loves showing affection<br/>Follows his person everywhere; happiest being close on the couch, bed, or lap<br/>LOVES playing with other dogs; best with a younger, similar‑sized playful buddy<br/>Not afraid of big dogs but doesn’t always take the hint when they don’t want to play<br/>Timid with new people (especially men) and may bark at first, but warms up with patience<br/>Barks at noises inside and outside<br/>Working on potty training; may still mark due to late neutering<br/>Does well in a pen when left alone and is crate trained<br/>Walks nicely on a leash and enjoys outdoor adventures<br/>Hasn’t met cats or kids yet; likely good with respectful older children<br/>Sweet, silly, wiggly little guy ready for a loving home with another playful dog<br/><br/>Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
