About Scrappy (Beagle) in Arlington

Scrappy is waiting for you at Worthy Dog Rescue in Arlington, VA 22204. LOOKING FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTER! Meet Scrappy, one of the Scooby Doo pups! Velma and her three puppies - Fred, Shaggy, and Scrappy Doo - were found abandoned on Kelly Mountain in Logan County, WV, by a group of hunters, far from any nearby homes. When the hunters stopped, the dogs immediately approached them, friendly and social, which leads us to believe they once had a home and were intentionally left behind. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan stepped in and took the little family into her home until rescue help could be secured. Because of her compassion and quick action, Velma and her pups are now safe and settling into their local foster homes. Scrappy is being fostered with his brother, Shaggy, in a busy household with his foster mom and dad, two kids, two adult dogs, and even regular toddler visitors. It’s an ideal socialization environment for a young puppy. As a result, he is a happy, confident, well-adjusted boy who loves to be held and wants to be part of the action. Scrappy is crate-trained, sleeps through the night without accidents, and is making steady progress with his house manners. He has officially graduated to “big-boy” leash walks and improves every day with practice. Some of Scrappy’s early puppy training has already been done by his fabulous foster mom, Diana, who shared this update: "Scrappy is slightly more laid-back than his brother with a gentler, more submissive personality. He loves to cuddle and is happiest snuggled up with his people. While he has a medium level of energy, he still enjoys playtime and is doing great with training and learning routines. He would love a pup buddy in his new home and would be great with kids, too. He is a social, affectionate boy who will make a wonderful family companion."
