My story

Mister Scruffy is a sweet, happy-go-lucky boy who would love a home where he can finally relax and be part of the family. He is smart and eager to please and thrives on companionship. His favourite thing is simply being near his people, soaking up affection and enjoying a calm environment. He is lower energy around humans but enjoys moderate play sessions with other dogs and gets along well with dogs of all personalities because he is respectful and social. Mister Scruffy seems to be mostly house trained but like many dogs adjusting to a new environment, he may have the occasional accident if left unsupervised at first, but he learns quickly and responds well to guidance. He is not crate trained and becomes very distressed when confined, so a safe dog-proofed area or free roam of the home would suit him much better. He is generally calm indoors and non-destructive unless crated or kenneled. On leash, Mister Scruffy is extremely good but can get excited and pull a bit if he spots a furry critter. He responds well to verbal correction and is making great progress. He can occasionally get excited and jump up, but this is being worked on and continues to improve. Mister Scruffy loves affection and handling, enjoys being pet, and has shown no signs of food aggression. He would be happy as an only dog or in a home with canine companions. He came into rescue with multiple bite wounds, hot spots, and an injured paw, likely from a difficult past. His injuries have healed significantly, his limp is gone, and he continues to recover beautifully. Mister Scruffy is the kind of dog who simply wants to love and be loved. With patience, consistency, and a family willing to continue helping him settle into home life, he will make an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. Good with Men: Yes Good with Women: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: With slow intros House trained: Yes Crate trained: No, he doesn't like it Energy level: Medium Can be handled/touched: Yes Flight risk: No; however, all dogs should be considered flight risks in new environments Walks on leash: Yes, excellent Rides well in car: Yes Food aggressive: No Destructive: No Needs a home with a yard: Yes Needs a home with another dog: No, but he loves dog company Can live in an apartment: No Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
