“Second Chance” Scrappy

Meet ​SCRAPPY – the sweetest senior with a heart of gold!

Scrappy is a 15 year old Shih Tzu Mix who weighs 16 lbs. He is fostered by Somerset Cottage Poodle Rescue in Fairfax, VA.

Scrappy is an easygoing, lovable pup ready to find his forever home! Despite his age, he has a pep in his step and a happy, playful spirit that shines through daily.

This well-trained gentleman is incredibly polite (his foster has never even heard him bark)!

Scrappy is a friendly fellow who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. His sweet nature and outright cuteness make him an absolute joy to have around.

Although Scrappy is deaf, he doesn’t let that slow him down. He has been through a lot, but his resilient spirit remains unshaken. With his cheerful trot, wagging tail, and signature open-mouth smile, he greets his people with nothing but love and gratitude.

If you’re looking for a wonderful, affectionate companion to brighten your days, Scrappy is ready to steal your heart!

Please Note:

**No children under 12!**

SCRAPPY was found as a stray and ended up in a Baltimore. MD shelter, ready for euthanized. A good Samaritan reached out to us to see if we had space for this older little man.

House with a Heart and Somerset Cottage Poodle Rescue stepped up to help and with a grant from House with a Heart, Scrappy was given the “Second Chance” he needed.
