Meet Scrappy: A Perfect Mix of Playful and Goofy
Looking for a farm buddy with plenty of energy? Or perhaps a couch potato that can also enjoy the occasional outdoor adventure? Maybe a playmate for your existing pack? Meet Scrappy, a kind and playful pup still looking for his fur-ever home!

Life should be an adventure, shouldn’t it? Just ask Scrappy. He’s a young, playful shepherd mix, and if he could talk, he’d tell you it’s time to have some fun in life! And he should know.
Scrappy came to our friends at the Fields of Freedom Dog Rescue in Lancaster, KY from an overcrowded shelter where he landed on the euthanasia list.
He was moments away from not having the adventure he deserves. Thankfully, the care team knew this sweet bundle of joy deserved a chance at a happy life and to find someone to give him the care and affection he has longed for. First, let’s learn a bit about his personality, social skills, size, and what we know about his breed:
