My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Scruffy :Your Quirky, Loyal, Rule-Loving Best Friend

Scruffy will be honest with you right up front: he’s not a fan of strangers. When you’re this adorable, people tend to swoop right in with baby-talk and grabby hands; but Scruffy is no puppy. He’s a mature little gentleman with opinions and strong boundaries. Give him space, treat him with respect, and once he decides you’re his person? You’re in for life.

Scruffy is looking for a calm, quiet home where structure is the name of the game. This scrappy little guy has a bit of a Napoleon complex—he thinks he runs the place unless someone shows him the rules. He thrives with a person who sets clear boundaries, sticks to them, and helps him feel safe by keeping life predictable.

He needs to be your one and only pet. Scruffy isn’t interested in roommates—four-legged or otherwise. He wants a single human to bond with, protect, and adore. No sharing required.

Scruffy is a fluffy little stud ready to strut into his new life.

If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, slightly dramatic old man who will be your shadow once he trusts you—and you’re ready to give him the structure he needs—Scruffy might just be your perfect match. Ready to let this pint-sized character steal your heart? Stop in during open hours to meet him!

Additional adoption info

You must be 18 years or older to adopt an animal. A valid ID is required.

If you own your own home, please provide proof of home-ownership; a mortgage receipt, tax bill, water bill or deed will suffice.

If you rent, please bring your lease which states the type of pet you are interested in and that it is accepted or the name and phone of your landlord so we can verify the pet is allowed. Inquire with your landlord about any size or breed restrictions.

Please check with your home owner’s insurance company or landlord to find out if they have any restrictions on the breed(s) of dog they cover. Common breeds that may not be covered include: Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers and German Shepherds.

For the health and safety of the pet you are interested in adopting and your existing pets, we ask that you provide proof of current vaccinations and spay/neuter status for pets in your home. (We may be able to call your veterinarian if you do not have a copy available.)

A new pet is a family decision and we ask that all members of your family meet the pet and agree on the suitability for your household.

If you already have a dog(s) in your home please bring the dog(s) with you to meet the dog you are considering to see if they are compatible.

Complete an adoption application and talk with a staff member for more information about the animal you are considering.
