About Scotty

Meet Scotty, a lively 1-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix looking for his forever home in Kingwood, TX. This affectionate little guy has quickly settled into his foster home, where he shows off his playful nature by enjoying time with other dogs and his toys. Scotty is not just intelligent but also eager to please, having learned the ropes of house and crate training. He’s vocal about his feelings, especially when left alone, so he thrives best in an active household where someone is home often. Scotty loves attention and will happily alert you when someone is at the door. He's good with other dogs, but he isn’t suitable for homes with smaller children due to his habit of stealing toys (and shoes!) to get attention. He would prefer older kids who can play gently with him. Scotty deserves a fun-loving family to share adventures with and help him grow. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
