"If you can't get Arlo to mention the dog, skip this step and head into the Collapsed Wasteland."

This seems to no longer be the case. After triggering the quest with Polly, but before talking to Arlo, Scraps was not in the location. The partially open wardrobe was not there either.

After talking to Arlo, I immediately returned to the same location, Scraps and the open cabinet were both located where they should be.

hopefully, this helps someone else from circling the same small area for far longer than I should have.
