Adoption information
About Scrappy
Scrappy is a lovable, people‑focused puppy who wants to be with you all the time. He’s confident, affectionate, and wonderfully dopey in the most charming way. He loves kids, enjoys playing, and is eager to be involved in everything his humans do.
Scrappy is learning very quickly and responds beautifully to training. He already knows how to sit, goes to bed at bedtime without fuss, and sleeps through the night. He’s full of cuddles, excitement, and puppy joy, always ready to play, learn, or snuggle.
He can be vocal when he wants attention and will often place his paw on you as a sweet little reminder that he’d like some love.
