SCRUFFY

From Scruffy’s human siblings: We first applied to adopt another dog, and after the interview we learned that she was given to another family. Sadly we didn’t get her, later, we realised it was for the best. Luckily, we were added to the waitlist so as soon Scruffy was available, Save our Scruff contacted us and said that they had a perfect match for us, and asked if we would be interested in meeting her. The first time we met her, Lesley and Dad told us to wait for her to approach us as she would be shy. They were o so wrong. When we entered the hallway, we saw our future dog sprinting at us as fast as she could! She jumped and whirled. She was just so excited! At that moment we knew that she was the one, even though she didn’t meet mum’s size limit of 30 lbs :) We got her soon after and that’s when the excitement really started. Having Scruffy has given us many responsibilities; we wake up early to take walks, brush her regularly and love her with all of our hearts. She has added so much joy to our lives and makes us look forward to coming home. Thanks, Save our Scruff! 

From Scruffy’s mum: Although I have been a dog owner my whole life, this was the first time I went through a rescue organization.  The whole adoption process was fairly smooth, yet thorough. I gained comfort that SoS does have the dog’s best interest at heart through the lengthy interview, reference checks (including vets), and the fact that we were passed up for the first dog we applied for. Having had Scruffy for just over a year, we cannot imagine our lives without her.
