Skippy (Now Scruffy)


Skippy came to our shelter as a stray and he was very old! He needed his teeth cleaned and a cyst removed from his side. We had no hope for anyone adopting him because of his age. He stayed with us for about 2 months when Ruth Gray, our dedicated dog walker, decided that Skippy needed a home. She took our Skippy (now Scruffy) home and has not looked back since! Scruffy is in heaven!

Here is Scruffy.

He's been with me 3 weeks and has fit in well with his feline family. He is very good about not touching their food and has actually been with one of the cats on the couch. We walk in the am with Diane and our neighbour's dog Bailey. Bailey often isn't good with dogs but Scruffy's such a gentle soul that this is also working out. He lets her lead the "pack" and all is good. In the pm walk there is just the three of us and he loves being out. We visit Diane for tea after. She recently adopted a cat left behind in our complex. His name is Murphy and they have met once and both were very mellow.

See you!
