My story

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

Scruffy is a male, terrier/border-collie mix. 25#. His vet said that he is 10 years...going on puppy. Scruffy is in excellent health. His male owner (my brother) passed away in early December. They lived together for 10 years, so Scruffy will do well if his new owner is a male. He does NOT like to be alone, so he needs to be with someone who is mostly home. Scruffy is VERY smart, and is used to going out for walks at least 4 times a day. He LOVES to ride in the car but if you leave him (on a cool day) in the car, he will bark until you return. Scruffy is not a cuddler, but is an observer and protector. He is very vocal (i.e.: barks). He barks at other dogs, big trucks, big lawn mowers, and sometimes... just because he feels like it. Therefore, he should not be rehomed in an apartment where he might disturb neighbors. Scruffy has always lived in an apartment, therefore, having a yard to run in is not a requirement. You will fall in love once you meet him!
