Scruffy is a roughly 1 year old super sweet 25 lb guy who wants nothing more than to cuddle up to his human in bed. He loves other dogs and is great with cats. He does well in a crate and walks well on a leash. He was found as a stray in a rural town with a shelter that euthanizes dogs after 3 days no matter what so we rescued him.
He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.
Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays.
