Meet Scruffy! 🐾❤️

Scruffy is an absolutely adorable, shaggy-coated sweetheart looking for his perfect forever home! At about 2 ½ years old, this happy, loving pup has been raised in a wonderful family right here in Massachusetts and it truly shows.

His current family adopted him as a puppy and have adored him every step of the way. Unfortunately, with the recent arrival of a new baby in the home, Scruffy has shown that he’s not comfortable with a crawling infant. After much thought, heartbreak, and guidance from professionals, his family has made the tough decision to find him a new home where he can thrive.

Why You’ll Love Scruffy:
✔️ House-trained – No accidents, no issues!
✔️ Loves kids – Fantastic with older children (10+) and all their friends. He’s the ultimate kiss-giver!
✔️ Great with dogs – Walks well with other pups and is happy to meet new furry friends. No nervous energy here!
✔️ Loves people – Always ready for pets and tail wags when meeting new friends.
✔️ Happy, friendly, and well-loved – This boy is a gem!

Things to Know:
⚠️ Scruffy takes some time to warm up to big, tall men—but with patience, he comes around.
🚫 No cats for this pup—he’s just not a feline fan.

Scruffy’s family is committed to making his transition as smooth as possible. They are more than happy to answer any questions and share everything they know about him. This delightful, well-adjusted pup is ready to bring joy to a new home that fits his needs.
