Scruffy - pending

Scruffy came by his name quite literally because he was found as a stray - filthy dirty and extremely badly matted. From the looks of things he had never in his life been groomed even though he's somewhere between 2 and 3 years old. Despite his poor grooming - he's a friendly, young adult male. While trying to cut his huge matts off he tolerated it extremely well and never showed any aggression. When being groomed properly by a groomer, he was also extremely well behaved (he'll need regular grooming in his new home). He rides well in a car, wanting to sit right beside you with his head on your lap or while in the backseat sticks his head between the 2 front seats and lays quietly. He's took in one obedience class Sep 8th. He's a sweetheart who we think with love and attention along with some more obedience training will be a great family pet. Our best guess is he's something along the lines of a bearded collie, terrier cross. Because he's recently been shaved, he will have to be inside over this winter to keep him warm. Scruffy was neutered Dec 3rd so is ready to go to his new home as soon as they find him!
