Plot

In 1911, two days before the Fourth of July, Lady and Tramp have three well-behaved daughters, Annette, Collette, and Danielle, and a rebellious son named Scamp. After Scamp makes a mess in the house, Jim Dear chains him to the doghouse outside as punishment. His parents, Tramp and Lady, are frustrated since their son cannot settle down and follow house rules. Tramp tries to reason with Scamp, but soon loses his temper at his son's insistent desire to be a wild dog.

Later, Scamp sees a pack of stray dogs, named the Junkyard Dogs, harassing the dogcatcher outside the yard and becomes intrigued. Scamp breaks free from his chain and runs off to find the pack. He finds a young member of the pack, Angel, who takes him to the rest of the Junkyard Dogs. Meanwhile, Lady notices that Scamp has run away and alerts Tramp.

Scamp attempts to join the Junkyard Dogs, but their leader, Buster, gives him a test in the alley, in which Scamp must successfully grab a tin can from a savage bullmastiff named Reggie. This results in Reggie chasing Scamp, but Reggie ends up getting caught by the dogcatcher. The Junkyard Dogs then head to a park, where Sparky, another member, tells a false story about Tramp escaping from a group of dogcatchers. Buster, who was once good friends with Tramp, angrily explains that Tramp fell in love with Lady and became a house pet. Scamp is in awe that his father used to be a Junkyard Dog. After Scamp and Angel narrowly escape from a train and fall into a river, they start to fall in love.

Meanwhile, Scamp and Angel discover that Scamp's parents, along with Jim Dear, Darling, Jock, and Trusty, are still searching for Scamp. Angel, who was once a house pet herself, is disgusted that Scamp would choose living on the streets over a loving family. The next day, Buster gives Scamp his final test: to steal food from his family's picnic. Scamp succeeds, but is caught by Tramp. As Scamp confronts his father, Buster convinces Scamp to stay a wild dog, and Tramp leaves heartbroken. To prove that Scamp is now a Junkyard Dog, Buster removes Scamp's collar, much to Scamp's delight.

Scamp celebrates his newfound freedom until Angel scolds him for leaving his family. Annoyed, Scamp inadvertently reveals that Angel wants to be a house dog. She runs off, and Scamp tries to find her, to no avail. Scamp is caught by the dogcatcher, and a shocked Angel runs to find Tramp. The two set off to rescue Scamp. At the pound, he is placed in the same cell as a vengeful Reggie. Tramp, arriving just in time, manages to fight Reggie off to rescue Scamp, and the dogcatcher is defeated by Angel. While walking home, Scamp apologizes to his father for running away, and Tramp then apologizes back for losing his temper at him.

The dogs return to the junkyard, where Scamp retrieves his collar. Scamp then traps Buster under piles of junk, and Buster is abandoned by his former gang members, who all decide to find owners. Tramp then returns home with Scamp, Scamp's family decides to adopt Angel, and the Junkyard Dogs all find new homes with loving owners.

Cast

Many of the original characters make a return, including Tony and Joe from Tony's.

* Scott Wolf as Scamp (or "Whirlwind" as Tramp calls him), Lady and Tramp's rambunctious teenage son who bears a strong resemblance to Tramp. Like his father, Scamp is a mixed-breed dog. He starts out as a playful, frisky, yet stubborn and selfish puppy, but has a total change of heart for his family after learning a lesson in humility, seeing that Buster betrayed him, as well as the fact that he suddenly realised he was not safe out there in the streets, and that his family loves him. Roger Bart provides his singing voice. Andrew Collins served as the supervising animator for him.
* Alyssa Milano as Angel, a Pomeranian/ Siberian husky dog who was once a pet and Scamp's love interest. She has a kind, yet spunky personality. At the end of the film, she is adopted by Jim Dear and Darling. She too bares a nickname for Scamp due to his inexperience with the streets, calling him "tenderfoot", which is another reason why she has a crush on him. Susan Egan provides her singing voice for select songs. Andrew Collins served as the supervising animator for her.
* Chazz Palminteri as Buster, a Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher provides his singing voice. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for him.
* Jeff Bennett as Tramp, a mongrel (with a mixture of a schnauzer) and the father of Scamp, Annette, Collette, and Danielle. Tramp has become accustomed to living in a home during his time as a pet. He is portrayed as a loving, but firm and concerned father, and has an important role in this film. Nevertheless, he still has a few "street smarts" to fall back on, due to his near-old age. Larry Roberts voiced Tramp in the original film.
** Bennet also voices Trusty and Jock, a bloodhound and a Scottish Terrier who are the neighbors and friends of Lady and Tramp. They join Scamp's family in a search to find him. Bill Baucom and Bill Thompson voiced Trusty and Jock respectively in the original film.
** Bennet also voices the dogcatcher who chases after the Junkyard Dogs, determined to capture them.
* Jodi Benson as Lady (or "Pidge", which Tramp always calls her because of her naivety in the first film), an American Cocker Spaniel who is the mother of Scamp, Annette, Collette, and Danielle, and Tramp's mate. Due to her now being a mother of four, most of her naivety from the first film has been replaced with a sense of responsibility. She views Scamp's behavior in a more understanding light than Tramp does. Lianne Hughes served as the supervising animator for her. Barbara Luddy voiced Lady in the original film.
* Bill Fagerbakke as Mooch, an Old English Sheepdog who is fairly dim-witted but enthusiastic. He is seen playing with children at the end of the film. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for him.
* Mickey Rooney as Sparky, an Irish Wolfhound who used to know Tramp. He tells an inaccurate story about Tramp escaping from a group of dogcatchers, which ends with Tramp jumping down a ravine, never to be seen again. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for him.
* Cathy Moriarty as Ruby, an Afghan Hound who has a soft spot for puppies. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for her.
* Bronson Pinchot as Francois, a Boston Terrier with a French accent. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for him.
* Debi Derryberry and Kath Soucie as Annette, Collette, and Danielle, three well-behaved and polite Cocker Spaniel puppies who are Scamp's sisters. They greatly resemble their mother Lady but each have different colored collars on their necks. They are prissy, love taking baths, and show no respect for Scamp, until the middle of the film when they actually start to miss him. Annette is blue collared and bossy, Collette is red collared with long ears and a snobbish personality, and Danielle is white collared and rowdy. While they are at odds with Scamp at times, they do love him, due to the fact that he is their brother. Their names are not mentioned in the film, but in the end credits. The pups were voiced by uncredited child actresses in the original film.
* Rob Paulsen as Otis, a Chinese Crested in the dog pound. His name is not mentioned in the film, but in the end credits.
* Nick Jameson and Barbara Goodson as Jim Dear and Darling, the owners of Lady, Tramp, Scamp, Annette, Collette, Danielle, and by the end of this film, Angel. Lee Millar and Peggy Lee voiced Jim Dear and Darling respectively in the original film.
* Andrew McDonough as Junior, Jim Dear and Darling's son and the youngest owner of Lady, Tramp, Scamp, Annette, Collette, Danielle, and by the end of this film, Angel.
* Tress MacNeille as Aunt Sarah, Jim’s aunt, Junior's great aunt, and the owner of Si and Am. She shows no respect for Scamp, believing him to be a "monster". Verna Felton voiced Aunt Sarah in the original film.
* Mary Kay Bergman and Tress MacNeille as Si and Am, Aunt Sarah's two sneaky Siamese cats. They have a much more minor appearance in this film than in the original. However, they are shown to have an unpleasant relationship with Scamp, just like in the comics with Scamp as protagonist. This was Bergman's final film role following her suicide in 1999. Peggy Lee voiced Si and Am in the original film.
* Jim Cummings as Tony, the owner and chef of Tony's. George Givot voiced Tony in the original film.
* Michael Gough as Joe, Tony's assistant. Both he and Tony have only minor appearances in this film. Bill Thompson voiced Joe in the original film.
* Frank Welker as Reggie, an extremely vicious and very large bullmastiff/bulldog
