About Scruffles

Meet Scruffles, a charming and friendly 3-year-old Rottweiler mix weighing in at 54 lbs. His story began as a stray puppy in Von Ormy, Texas, where caring locals fed him until he found refuge in a nearby sanctuary. Now settled in Rhode Island, Scruffles has really embraced indoor living, showing off his well-behaved and housebroken nature. Vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, he is more than ready for a loving family. Scruffles shines with his friendly disposition, always wagging his tail and smiling. He adores people and is especially great with kids. However, due to his limited socialization with other dogs, he's best suited as the only dog in his new home. His medium-energy level means he’s perfect for playtime, family activities, or social gatherings—always eager to join in on any fun. While he’s sweet and affectionate, he’s not overly slobbery; he shows his love in other ways. Scruffles listens attentively and aims to please, making him a wonderful companion.
