This is Scruffy, an exceptionally smart and affectionate dog who's time was up at the shelter. Scruffy had been badly abused, malnourished and her fur was stiff like wire.
For some time, we had been taking dogs like Scruffy home to stabilize their life and help find them a new home. Temporary dogs were also good company for our other dog.
No one wanted Scruffy, and we became so attached to her that the end result is obvious. Now we wouldn't give her away for anything.
She also can be helpful with dog loving real estate clients!
The point of this message is to suggest that there is another alternative to buying an expensive purebred dog at the mall. If you look for a dog at a shelter, remember that they have often been badly treated and are scared. Dogs like Scruff know what you have done for them and reward you back with incredible unconditional love, something we can all use more of.
