About Scruffy Bear

Scruffy Bear is a friendly and playful two-year-old Terrier who originally came from Desert Hot Springs Animal Control. This large guy weighs around 50 lbs and arrived at the rescue in June 2026, bringing with him a charming personality and a playful spirit. He thrives in a family environment and loves being around both kids and adults. Scruffy can be a bit shy at first but quickly warms up, revealing a loving and devoted companion beneath his initial hesitance. He has a bit of puppy energy, requiring daily walks and playtime to channel his enthusiasm. While he is still figuring out the leash, he is smart and motivated, making training both enjoyable and effective. Scruffy displays good manners already—he takes treats gently, sleeps through the night, and is learning patience with mealtimes. Though he has a quirky side, such as turning toilet paper into a confetti display or carrying household items around, these are small prices to pay for his affection and loyalty. He’ll make a wonderful companion for anyone ready to embrace the joy of having a young dog. With a bit of patience and lots of love, Scruffy Bear is set to become a cherished member of any family.
