Story
Scrunchy may not see or hear the world like most dogs, but he feels it with every kind touch, warm cuddle, and loving presence by his side. This sweet senior boy is blind and hard of hearing, but he’s full of quiet strength, gentle affection, and tail wags for kind hearts. He navigates life at his own pace — one paw at a time — and is happiest when he knows he’s not alone. Scrunchy doesn’t need much… just a soft bed, a little patience, and someone to remind him that he’s safe and loved. Looking for a calm, sweet companion to share the quiet moments? Scrunchy is ready to feel his way into your heart. 💕
