If flyball, agility trials, rally obedience, or structured enrichment training sounds like fun to you — **Scruffy is your boy**. This is **not** a couch-potato pup. Scruffy thrives on encouragement, enrichment, and having a job to do. He’s looking for a special family who will channel his enthusiasm into positive outlets and help him grow into the confident, well-mannered dog he’s meant to be. 🏡 **House Training:** Scruffy is **mostly house trained** in his current foster home, but like many puppies, that can change when he moves to a new environment. Expect a short adjustment period with possible accidents while he learns your routine. Consistency and patience are key. 💦 **Excited Pee Alert:** Scruffy loves people *a lot* — sometimes so much that he gets a little too excited. We’re currently managing this with belly bands and crate time to help him settle before meeting new people. Continued training and calm greetings will help him succeed. ❤️ **Personality:** Happy, affectionate, people-loving, and always ready to go. Scruffy bonds deeply and will thrive with adopters who enjoy training, activity, and engagement. 📍 **Meet Scruffy In Person!** Come say hello at our **Meet & Greet Days**: 🐶 **Pet Valu Strathcona** 📍 7925 104 St NW, Edmonton 🕛 12–2 PM 📅 **Saturday, January 24** 🐶 **Pet Valu Devon** 🕛 12–2 PM 📅 **Saturday, February 7** 📄 Please scroll down our rescue page to review our **adoption policies and procedures.** ✨ If you’re looking for a fun, driven, affectionate pup who’s ready to learn and move — Scruffy might just be your perfect match.

Gentleman

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

A bit about Gentleman:- unknown history with kids; all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised intros recommended- unknown history with dogs; okay pending successful introductionGentleman came to us as a nameless stray, but he came by his name honestly! He`s an incredibly gentle and polite dog who loves to snuggle! Like any young dog, he`s sure to enjoy a variety of physical activities like hiking or skiing, but he does not easily become overexcited and understands not to tackle people for kisses. Gentleman has displayed knowledge of basic training (such as house training in shelter) and has the makings of a wonderful family dog. If you`re looking for a sweet boy with potential to fit well into a variety of homes, then look no further! He`s waiting in his kennel to wag to his tail for you!
