Scruffy is a 1½-year-old Terrier mix and weighs 9.7 pounds. He came to M.A.I.N. when he had problems with his back legs and lack of control over peeing and pooping.
Scruffy completed physical therapy and acupuncture treatments as well. Both treatments have helped him. His legs are much better. His bladder and bowel control have improved but aren’t perfect. He still has accidents but does give some warning when he needs to poop.
Scruffy’s personality is wonderful and hilarious. He plays until he’s tired but will settle down when he needs to. He loves toys, especially squeaky ones and does well with other dogs. He’s been staying with M.A.I.N. Alum, Addie, and has done well. Scruffy also enjoys cuddling with his human and being around them. And of course, he is quite a fan of treats.
Scruffy needs some training because, at times, he lacks manners. When it comes to his treats and food, Scruffy is possessive. Also, he has some insecurities. He isn’t sure about all cats. It’s not that he wants to hurt them, but he can’t always figure out how to play with them. So, he sometimes chooses to play by chasing them. He’s also insecure about men and children. Again, not that he’s vicious, he seems to be unsure about them. It’s possible that he’s never been around either. He is truly a wonderful boy.
Scruffy has been neutered, microchipped, licensed with Maricopa County, and is up to date on vaccines.
