Meet The 'Miss Manners' Of The Dog World

Scrappy, a lovely 10-year-old Chow Mix, is a well-behaved companion.

Well, hello there! Allow me to introduce myself, as a well-mannered lady should!

My name is Scrappy, and though my name may sound feisty, I am anything but! I am a very sophisticated and lovely 10-year-old young lady, and am a joy for anyone to be around.

I am a perfect guest in the house, housebroken and trustworthy, and I know that manners are important for other things, too! For example, I only pull on the leash when a squirrel is present (as you need protecting from those pesky critters!), and if you offer me a treat or morsel, I take it oh-so-gently from your fingers. A well-behaved girl knows to never bite the hand that feeds her!

I do enjoy a good nap in a cozy bed, and will come upstairs if invited, but do prefer a home with one level. I am good with other mellow dogs, and don’t seem to pay too much attention to cats. I would be good with older children, as I do enjoy a quieter lifestyle, but visiting grandkids that would like to share their Cheerios with me would be just fine with me.

I am quite the catch, and anyone who has met me will tell you the same thing! So I hope you will arrange for a date for us to meet soon!

I’m spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, had my teeth cleaned, and have been microchipped. My blood test results say I’m a healthy lady. My lovely manners will help me adjust quickly to any home. Fill out an adoption application today! My adoption for of $165 benefits all the homeless senior pets at Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I can’t wait to meet you!
