About Scraggles

Scraggles is a scruffy 6-year-old, 11-month-old Black Labrador Retriever and Patterdale Terrier mix currently in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He weighs in as a medium-sized dog. A yard, even a small one, would suit him best since fetch is his favorite thing—he’ll chase the ball and bring it right to you, every single time. Scraggles walks nicely on a leash and is just as happy rolling on his back for a good belly rub as he is sprinting for a ball. He’s motivated by treats and quick to pick up new skills. Athletic, but not over the top—he balances his energy with long stretches of calm and loves winding down with plush toys in his kennel. He keeps his space spotless and is fully potty trained. Scraggles prefers to be the only pet and isn’t a fit for homes with cats, but he can settle into a routine with a laid-back female dog after proper introductions. Born on June 14, he’s a playful Gemini, always juggling curiosity and charm. This scruffy guy is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a new best friend. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
