Name: Scruffy
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Breed: Shih Tzu/Pug
Ref number: 140
Personality:
Scruffy is a sweet cuddly lap dog who loves a fuss and playing with toys. She can be nervous at first but has formed some strong bonds with staff here at the centre and is a huge character for a little dog. Although she is nervous she is very tolerant of handling, both at the vets and when being groomed. When she trusts you she is confident and happy to go on adventures.
Behaviour:
Scruffy may take a little bit of time to build her confidence with new people, but once that bond is formed she is an amazing and funny little girl. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who has patience and is able to take things slowly.
Housing:
Due to her being a little nervous Scruffy would benefit from some private outside space so she doesn’t have to go for walks straight away. She cannot be rehomed to the PO2 area.
Children/pets:
Scruffy has lived with children before so we believe she could live with them again if they are prepared to give her space when needed. She cannot live with cats due to wanting to chase them but could live with small animals kept separately. Scruffy has not been socialised with other dogs and can be reactive on lead. With time and training we believe Scruffy would enjoy being around other dogs but to start with she will need to be the only dog in the home.
Vet history:
Scruffy is fully vaccinated and up to date with flea and worming, she will need to return to the centre to be spayed.
