The plan

Scrappy has been apart of Will life since the day he was born six years ago. Scrappy has been apart of my life since the spring of 2009. Scrappy is my child. Will and I discussed all the options and decided that we plan to fight for Scrappy's life. We applied for grants set up a website for donations http://giveforward.com/supportscrappydoo

We are fighting for our dog's life.


Will and Jim (a dear friend from Guadalupe House) got into the car and drove Scrappy to Pullman, Washington last night in hope for a cheaper and posibble grant to perform the neccessary surgery for Scrappy Doo.

Please Support the fight for Scrappy's Life!

The Accident

On Monday March 14th, 2011 Scrappy and Will were near our house in Hilltop. Will was on his way to look at a pick-up truck and Scrappy was near his side. Scrappy Doo was on the roadway. Around 7pm, a drunk driver came down the road swerved and hit Scrappy. Will was extremly upset and his main concern was to get Scrappy to the Vetrinary Hospital. Will awoke me from a nap and we dorve to Summit Veterinary Referral Center with Scrappy in the backseat. He was triaged and x-rays were taken. It was discovered that Scrappy has a crushed left pelvic bone and possible hip damange as well as a right hip popped out of the joint.

Will's mom Wendy was able to join us at the hospital as we waited to see Scrappy. All three of us were escorted in the back room and saw Scrappy wag his tail as he saw us coming forward. We gave him kisses and hugs.

That night was bitter sweat. We were all excited that Scrappy survived his ordeal with a car, but immendiate concern with the amount of money treatment would cost. Unlike people hospitals, veterinary hospital only treat the animal once a deposit is made. I took out an additional credit card to cover the $1,700 it cost Scrappy to be seen by the doctors, for just that night.

Scrappy's Story

Scrappy Doo was born 3/15/2005 on the Key Peninsula, Wa. He was originally breed as a service animal. William Stocklin who at the time was living with the breeders took a liking to the lovable puppy,...aka...Sire Scrapps Alot.  The connection was made. Scrappy and William accepted each other and became life partners....this picture is with Jessica Arteaga

Throughout the years Scrappy has touched many people's lives, including myself.

Will and I met in the spring of 2009 at Guadalupe House, at the time we were both volunteering our time and energy for the poor. Scrappy Doo was an amazing addition to the house. He has this way with people, everyone loves him even if they do not like dogs.

In the summer of 2010 Will and I moved out of Guadalupe House and into a house of our own in Hilltop. Currently I work with the homeless, mentally ill, and family members of people who are experiencing major medical crisis. Will is working on improving his health. Scrappy is working on being a couch dog enjoying his own lawn, toy and treats.
