My story

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

Scruffy is a young terrier mix puppy who came into our care just before the holidays, through no fault of his own, and he’s still trying to understand why his world suddenly changed. Like any puppy, Scruffy is full of playful energy, curiosity, and affection, and he’s eager to learn what it means to be part of a loving family. He will need patience, guidance, and positive training as he grows, but his sweet nature and joyful spirit make him a wonderful blank slate for someone ready to invest the time and love a puppy deserves. Scruffy is ready to trade the uncertainty of rescue life for a home where he can feel safe, adored, and supported as he grows into the amazing companion he’s meant to be.
