Mr. Scruffles Old English Sheepdog Mix Nokomis, FL

Remember Mr. Scruffles? The dog from last year that was abandoned in a dry goods storage unit and when found was in heart, liver and kidney failure, riddled with bot flies and maggots and dealing with serious skin issues? Well here he is today and he is healthy, happy, and ready for adoption!

Mr. Scruffles is about 4 years young, good with other dogs but best with female a to keep him in line. He is not good with cats but loves every person he meets. We do not suggest small children as he is pretty silly, loves to jump up, and can be a bit mouthy. He is not in an aggressive way (just playful.) Scruffles is working on basic obedience and finishing up on his house manner skills, but he is very smart and willing to learn and please. A fenced yard would be best and a family that is active and fun and that can provide an unlimited amount of toys to play with.

Mr. Scruffles will need to remain on a special diet for the remainder of his life. The food is moderately priced and additional goodies that include pumpkin, carrots and veggies for a high fiber, limited ingredient food.

We ask that you please include email addresses for personal references whenever possible. The answers you give on your application will help us to find the best possible match between you and the dogs available through AUSSIE AND ME ANIMAL RESCUE (“AAMAR”).

They will be brought up-to-date on vaccinations, treated for parasites, and micro chipped. Dogs are spayed or neutered unless age or health conditions are a factor, and also receive monthly heartworm and flea preventatives while in our care.
