puppy scoop

  When you picture the perfect family companion, you imagine a puppy who has been loved from the very beginning — one who knows what gentle hands feel like and believes hugs are one of life’s greatest gifts. That puppy is Scoop.   Scoop is one of eleven lucky puppies who have been raised in the devoted care of a foster home since the day they were born. Because of that steady love, he is blossoming into the most wonderful little guy. He doesn’t just tolerate affection — he melts into it. Scoop is learning that the world is full of people who want to scoop him up (and yes, his name fits perfectly) and he absolutely loves every minute of it.   Those deeply soulful eyes will stop you in your tracks. They seem to study you, connect with you, and then quietly say, “Are you my person?” His soft black-and-white tuxedo coat is as touchable as it looks, and as he grows, it will develop into a semi-long, flowing coat that gives him a handsome, almost classic Lassie-style look. He is going to be a stunning 35–40 pound Aussie mix boy when fully grown — the perfect size for both adventure and couch cuddles.   But Scoop isn’t just a pretty face. He is brave. When he encounters something new that he doesn’t quite understand, he doesn’t panic — he works through it. Case in point: stairs. They were once a big, scary mystery. Now? He proudly marches down them every single day like a champ, and we couldn’t be prouder of his determination and growing confidence.   When it’s playtime, Scoop gives it everything he has. He romps, he wrestles, he zooms — and he plays until he drops. Then comes the best part: cuddle time. He is becoming more and more comfortable soaking up hugs, leaning into affection, and simply being someone’s baby. As he matures, that bond with his people will only grow stronger.   Scoop will be ready for his forever home in March, and he is looking for a family who is ready to invest in him — to teach him manners, guide him with patience, and help him grow into the incredible family dog he is destined to be. He is smart, not overly shy, eager to learn, and full of heart.   This boy won’t just join your family — he will be a gift to it.   If you’re ready to welcome Scoop into your life, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 2, 2026, 4:29 pm
