Meet Scampi! We probably should have named this dog Tigger or Pogo because he seems to be part kangaroo. His hops when he gets excited are adorable. He is roughly 2 years old with an estimated birthdate of 05/13/2024 and he has all the grace and agility of a baby giraffe. This does not in any way dissuade him from giving zoomies his best effort. He ran straight into the fence in our play area, backed up and did it AGAIN. Not sure if that was his first acquaintance with a fence or he just thought if he got going fast enough, he could just blow right through? What he lacks in experience he makes up for with exuberance, even if he’s not entirely sure what he’s exuberant about. We have no idea what breed he is, maybe all of them? But we’re guessing there’s some lab and hound in there. He weighs about 60lbs and so far, he knows sit. He got along well with a smaller female dog and didn’t care for the male we introduced him to, so we will be doing more dog testing to determine if he just prefers females and will update this bio. Meet and greets with any dogs in the home are required to make sure everyone is compatible. Scampi would love to have kids to play with and we think he’d probably be okay with cats with a proper, slow introduction. If you’ve always wanted to live with a kangaroo and don’t have a lot of breakable things in your house or are willing to do some training, Scampi will make a wonderful companion.
