Scrappy is a young German Shepherd mix pup that is owned by a family that can not care for her properly. The owners are willing to let their neighbor, (who paid to have Scrappy spayed and vetted), rehome her into a family that can better afford to care for her.

Scrappy is the only surviving pup of a litter her mom, Zoe, had this year. The neighbor also took Scrappy's mom (a German Shepherd mix) to the vet and had her spayed and vetted too. Mom, Zoe, has found a home. Scrappy needs one now too!

Scrappy is living as an outside dog at her owner's home. The neighbor would like to find Scrappy a doting home before the cold of winter really sets in.
