About Scruff

Meet Scruff! This little one, Scruff, came into our care after being found as a stray tied to a tree, a clear victim of abandonment. Thankfully, she was transferred from ACCT to avoid being euthanized due to overcrowding and is now looking for a loving forever home. Scruff is fully vetted, having been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. As a baby at just 5 months old, she will need a family that can provide positive reinforcement training, socialization, and plenty of exercise to help her adjust and thrive. Given her small size and youthful energy, Scruff will bring joy and companionship to a caring home. If you think you could be the right fit for Scruff, don’t hesitate to apply!
