Funny looking but adorable Chihuahua on Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week

🐶Celebrate “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week” with Scrappy to the Rescue

The third week of September marks Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week—a campaign dedicated to shining a light on pets often overlooked in shelters. This includes senior dogs, animals with medical needs, or pets with shy or nervous personalities. This special week encourages us to see beyond appearances and embrace the unconditional love these pets are ready to give.

Why These Pets Matter:

“Less adoptable” doesn’t mean less lovable. In fact, these animals are often the most grateful companions. They may need a little extra patience or care, but their loyalty and affection are unmatched. By choosing to adopt a pet that others might pass by, you’re not only changing their life—you’re enriching your own.

A Mission Inspired by Scrappy:

At Scrappy to the Rescue, this week is especially close to our hearts. Our brand was inspired by Scrappy, a rescue pup who once faced an uncertain future but blossomed with love and care. His journey is the heart of our mission: to create premium, cruelty-free pet care products while giving back to rescues.

We proudly donate 20% of every purchase to dog rescue organizations, helping shelters provide medical treatment, training, and hope for pets waiting for their forever homes. When you shop with us, you’re not just pampering your dog—you’re helping other pups get their second chance.

Caring for Every Dog’s Needs:

Our line of luxury pet balms is designed to bring comfort, healing, and protection to dogs at every life stage. Whether it’s:

🐾 Ultimate Rescue Balm for all-in-one care

🌿 Herbal Rescue Balm for scrapes and irritations

🌹 Rosehip + Calendula Balm for soothing dry spots

…our products are made with premium natural ingredients to keep your pup happy, healthy, and cuddle-ready.

How You Can Help:

This Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week, visit your local shelter, share a rescue story, or consider adopting a pet who’s been waiting the longest. Together, we can change the narrative for these overlooked pets.

At Scrappy to the Rescue, every cuddle counts, every paw matters, and every purchase helps rescue dogs in need.
