Those who ask what difference does it make saving just one have not witnessed the joy of the one who is saved!

Australian Cattle Dog/Pointer Blend - Neutered Male - 2 year old (Born in 2008)
Height: 16-17" | Weight: 40lbs

Scruffy is a two year old australian cattle dog x pointer that has recently come back into rescue. Scruffy was returned when his adoptive owners found it too much to handle him with a new baby on the way. The name has nothing to do with his coat - he was named by the children in his former home. Scruffy came from a home with small children and he simply adores everyone he meets! Scruffy is a mix between a sporting breed and a herding breed, and he is a dog needs regular walking and playtime. Scruffy is very nice natured and he is great with other dogs. He would be best in a home without cats, as his herding instincts kick in when they run. He would be okay with an easy-going feline - especially if there is another dog to keep him occupied. Scruffy has an even temperment and seems to be pretty easy-going about most things. Scruffy LOVES to play with the other dogs in his foster home, and this fellow really would enjoy a home with another dog that would play with him. While Scruffy is great with children, we have found he can get overwhelming for children if there isn't another dog around that can keep him entertained. Scruffy would make a wonderful dog's companion. He seems to make friends with other canines very easily! This guy is a very easy dog to have around, and Scruffy is very well mannered. He is completely housebroken and has been fine loose in the house. This young lad is still very much a puppy and is very willing and eager to learn. Scruffy is an all around great little fellow who adjusts easily. He would be an easy addition to any family! (Indoor Home Only!)
