Scruffaluffagus "Scruffy" Irish Terrier Mix Troy, VA

Please meet Scruffy! This sweet Irish Terrier mix pup comes to us from Alabama, and is just full of love! He seems to love everyone, once he gets acquainted. He was shy at first, but is really breaking out of his shell. He is working on his potty training, house manners, and walking on a leash while in foster care.


***** THIS IS A SPECIAL LISTING **** Please read below for IMPORTANT information about the family or person who will be selected to adopt this awesome guy!

We are looking for a LOCAL community minded individual who is wanting to add a new family member to their home, with the explicit intention of working with a dog and our Therapy Dog program. On occasion, we have Therapy dog candidates that we will adopt out locally provided their new family agrees to continue working within our program. What this means is the potential new family would commit to the training classes in Troy, VA once per week, and a minimum of one Therapy visit per month for a minimum of 1 year, following the completion of the training program. If you are looking for an amazing new family member and have the heart to give back, please reach out to us. This sweet boy has a LOT of love to give, and we want to help him reach his full potential.

NOTE: **We are NOT looking to place him in a home as a service dog or emotional support-type dog. Our program visits hospitals, assisted living facilities and schools. **
