About Scrappy

Pit Bull / Boxer
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

My name is scrappy I'm almost 2.1/2 years old. My mom saved me from some not so good people who neglected and mistreated me. They also made me out to be a bad dog but she relazied they were extremely wrong after meeting me in the first day! She has helped me change alot of my bad habits but some are hard to break and I'm still learning. I'm a pitbull mix. I'm very friendly and loving however sometimes I do get a temper. I have allergies and sometimes need medicine for them so I don't get the itchy bumps on my skin because when I scratch them I hurt myself. I love running around outside as long as I'm fenced in. Make sure you shut your doors going to the outside because I'm curious on what's out there and I'm a very fast runner. I'm house trained and rarely ever go in the house unless I'm left alone all day and can't continue to hold it. I don't like being alone, I have separation anxiety so I cry alot when I'm left by myself and like chewing on things cause I get bored so I have to be kept in a room with my toys so I can rip them apart and not yours. I'm about 60 pounds and don't realize it. I jump alot, that's one of the big problems with me because I don't realize how big I actually am. I get really hyper when my mom comes back home and jump all over her and try playing with whatever is next to me and I do some times get a little too excited when this happens and get in trouble because I'm still learning how to calm down when I'm so excited. I get along with some other dogs, it all depends. I've only been introduced to two other dogs, one was a puggle and we got along great. But with my moms moms dog who's a mutt, well we didn't seem to make a friendship. So we just bark at each other through the fence. I do not like sharing my food with other dogs, even if we are friends. I have never attacked another dog as long as my moms had me. I'm good with children and adults both male and female, although sometimes I get aggressive with adults when I feel intimidated but that's just me jumping up and barking, not biting anyone. I've never acted out or harmed a child, I'm very protective of them but again I'm a jumper so if they come in my home I feel that's the way to greet them so I need to be told about myself so I don't harm them from being excited to see them. I'm a begger, I know it's a bad habit but I'm trying to learn that table food is no good for me so I need to be told to go lay down while there's food out because I will sneak it off your plate if you walk away from it. As I said I get a temper from time to time and like to bark and growl as I try and chew things up, I'm trying to learn that's not the way I should act. While playing I tend to get to aggressive at times but I've never bitten anyone but it's another thing I'm working on, I don't mean harm but I never knew how to play and when enough is enough until my mom started to teach me wrong from right. I'm a big snuggle bug. I love sleeping in the bed and having my own blanket to cover up with. I love going on walks, sometimes I'm a puller but that's only when we first leave being I get so excited. Other dogs don't bother me while we're out but I do like to stand still and stare back, I rarely ever bark back, I'm just curious. I need someone who has alot of time and patience for me. Someone who isn't going to get mad when I get in my moods and try and help me learn from my mistakes and not harm me. I really am a good dog I just have my moments from time to time. I don't bark much I just whine and howl alot. I need a loving caring home with someone who has the time, patience and heart to take care of me like my Mom has been. She's doing everything she can to keep me but with a new baby and home with a dog who doesn't like me, it's hard on her to manage her day to day activities and keep me around. We're hoping we don't have to leave each other but if someone can love and care for me the way she has, then she'll do what's best for all of us!.
