LOCAL ADOPTON ONLY-
Hello! My name is Scruffy, and I am a two year old, five pound, cream colored yorkie/poodle mix. I was a stray for the majority of my life, so unfortunately, I am heartworm positive. But don't worry, I will be completely treated and will be good as new! I will need to be adopted locally to complete my treatment. I will be neutered and up to date on all my vaccinations before adoption.
My foster mom says I am a very goofy fun-loving guy. Do you know the character, "Lloyd Christmas?" Just imagine him in dog form. She says I'm just so playful, silly, and sweet.
I spent so long without my own home or things, so I get very excited for toys! I will gather all the toys, shoes, blankets, leashes and lay them in my bed. I don't chew them! I just want them near me...I love having my own things (and borrowing everyone else's things)!
It's unknown how I will be with cats and can be tested before adoption if needed. I love all humans and dogs! I would love a home with other dogs and humans to play with me! That has always been my dream! I do have energy since I'm a younger guy so having dogs that like to play would be nice! My foster mom has older dogs and I can bug them sometimes when I try to get them to play with me. I was a stray, but I am very well socialized! I love all the attention and just adore when someone is talking to me! Makes me feel so special!
I am still working on my house-training, but my foster mom says I get a gold star! I will follow the other dogs out and I know how to use the doggie door now! I would do best on a routine until I have house training down completely. I will need a fenced yard since I was a stray and might choose to wander if given the opportunity.
I love to sleep with my foster mom. She makesme feel so special and gave me my own bed and blanket, both things I've never had before! I just love them and sleep in them while she sleeps. Or I just climb on top of my foster mom and we cuddle until we fall asleep. She tells me one day I'll have my own human to snuggle with - I can't wait!
I haven't been crated yet, my foster mom leaves me loose in the house and I do not destroy anything! I just relax until I see her again. I was never walked on a leash before going to my foster mom so I will need a human that is willing to work with me if long walks are in our future. I like to grumble "talk" to my foster mom and she finds it quite entertaining when I disagree with her. Is it wrong to disagree that I should get endless treats? I think not. I'm not a barker but will join in with my foster brothers start barking at something.
I just can't wait to have my own home and family to love and play with. If you think a ball of scruffy love is a good match for your household, please apply today! I promise you won't regret it!
