My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Scrappy!! He is 13 years young, with a heart of gold, and 5 lbs of fluff ready to cuddle all the time! He has had quite the tough time lately and he's ready for a soft place to call home from now on. He lost both eyes to glaucoma, but still loves to explore--carefully! He is a quiet, affectionate, and friendly dog who loves other dogs and people.
Due to his age and blindness, Scrappy is a special needs dog, and he will require a patient owner and some particular care. He will need to be watched outside, as he has already caught the eye of some hawks at his fosters' house. He does not like to be alone for long periods, and he does not like a crate or being crated in a small area--likely due to past history--but does well in his playpen.
Since his recent surgery, he's having some issues with piddles in the house, but we are working to retrain him to go outside when needed. In the meantime, he is accustomed to wearing diapers inside to limit messes.
Scrappy is perfectly imperfect, and he would thrive in a comfortable home where he can cuddle up with his favorite person!
