Ruff

Ruff is a tiny ball of fluff with a big personality and absolutely no interest in living up to his tough-sounding name. At 12 weeks old, this sweet Maltipoo is busy mastering the important puppy skills of making friends, collecting toys, and finding creative ways to keep his humans entertained.<br/><br/>Sweet, social, and convinced that everyone he meets is a potential new best friend, Ruff approaches life with the confidence of someone who has never paid a bill or faced a real consequence. He believes toys appear by magic, meals arrive on schedule, and humans exist primarily to admire him. So far, the evidence supports his theory.<br/><br/>Like any puppy, Ruff is still in the process of figuring out how the world works. Hes learning important concepts such as manners, house rules, and why humans keep saying things like "What is in your mouth?" and "Please get down from there." Hes eager, curious, and occasionally makes decisions that seem perfectly reasonable from a puppy perspective.<br/><br/>Of course, Ruff's luxurious fluff doesn't maintain itself. This little gentleman is committed to a lifetime of looking fabulous, which means his future family should be prepared for regular grooming appointments. Ruff considers this less of a requirement and more of an investment in the arts.<br/><br/>Beneath all the puppy antics is a loving little companion who wants nothing more than to be included in whatever his people are doing. Whether he's playing, exploring, cuddling, or enthusiastically participating in activities he doesn't fully understand, Ruff brings joy wherever he goes.<br/><br/>Ruff is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and negative for heartworm and tick disease on his 4DX test. Healthy, happy, and ready to begin the next chapter of his adorable little life.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fluffy sidekick with a big personality, a bigger heart, and absolutely no understanding of personal space, Ruff is ready to prove that the best things in life are a little scruffy, a little silly, and completely irresistible.<br/><br/>Want to meet him?
