Adopt Scrappy Doo a Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut Miniature Pinscher / Mixed dog in

Location:

Mckinney, TX

Description:

Scrappy Doo had a rough start in life, and he has had some complications from heart worm infection. He is only about two years old but may need to be on medication for his heart for the rest of his life. Because of this, his adoption fee is waived, we just ask for a donation to contribute toward the care we've provided so far. Though he had some bumps in the road, Scrappy is really doing great and is ready for his forever home! Scrappy loves his person - his person is his world - and he would love a home where he can be his person's world. Scrappy is good with kids (9+ recommended if any) and is fine with other dogs, although he rarely plays with them. He is house-trained and even uses a dog door independently. He interacts with all the humans in his foster home but picks one to be his main squeeze. He will be friends with any human that offers treats.Scrappy enjoys lap time and snuggles, but will also nap on his own on comfy dog beds. He dotes on his person and loves being held after coming inside from the cold. He cries when there is a loud boom of thunder and will ask to be close to his person. He's well mannered in general and has learned some basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay.' He is not crazy about car rides but does well in public settings. Weight: 20 lbs.Breed: Red Min Pin mixHe is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Unfortunately, Scrappy tested positive for heartworms and is being treated with a slow kill method because the infection is advanced. There is risk of developing heart failure, but also a chance he will have a good lifespan. When this sweet boy came to LHS he was in bad shape and needed extensive care for his diagnostics and treatment to stabilize him. It was determined that he will need to be on medication for the course of his life - $25 a month - to keep his heart strong. We have waived his adoption fee but we are requesting a donation of the adopter's choice to LHS to help contribute the amount invested in all of his medical expenses that led to saving his life. If you would like to learn more or to meet/adopt this friendly boy click here: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoption-application/We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.
