Scrappy is a shy 2.5 years young sweetheart who came to us as a stray wearing a tethered collar labeled “Scrappy.” While we don’t know his full story, it’s clear this gentle boy is ready for a fresh start filled with patience and kindness. Scrappy may be a little timid at first, but once he feels comfortable, his soft and affectionate personality truly shines. He leans in for pets once he warms up, and accepts treats politely. He already knows “sit” and “paw,” and he’s reported to be housebroken, what a smart boy! He isn’t immediately playful, but with encouragement (and a rope toy!), Scrappy begins to engage and show his fun side. Scrappy would do best with older kids and an adopter who understands that shy dogs just need a little extra time to blossom. Once he trusts you, he’ll happily seek out attention and soak up all the love. If you’re willing to give a quiet, tender hearted pup the patience he deserves, Scrappy is ready to lean right into your life!
