About Scooby

Scooby is a charming 1.5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier/Shih Tzu mix, eagerly awaiting a loving home after being surrendered through no fault of his own. He’s ready to enjoy life with wholesome meals, plenty of exercise, and, most importantly, an abundance of love. Scooby has a long, beautiful coat, predominantly in white and cream with accents of black. Currently, he’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and will be microchipped at adoption. Just a heads up, Scooby isn’t quite house trained yet, so a patient adopter would be ideal for him. He’s at our Atlas (Queens) location, and if you’d like to meet this sweetheart, please access the adoption application from a laptop or desktop.
