They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Mr. Scruffypuggleterrier Mix, an eight-pound bundle of love and fun! Initially cautious in new environments, he just needs a few days to settle in and soon becomes a loyal companion. He quickly warmed up to his foster and now enjoys playful antics with his 60-pound Labradoodle foster sibling, showing he’s comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Mr. Scruffy is still learning house training and crate manners—he prefers to see his people nearby but is making progress and mostly potties outside or uses pee pads indoors. Full of energy and playfulness, he adores toys and brings so much joy with his friendly, loving nature. He was rescued from an overcrowded situation and, like others from his background, shows so much sweetness and charm. With his vaccinations and neuter completed, he’ll be ready for his forever family soon. Start your journey together! Apply now.
