It's been a while... but we're back with more scruffy dogs up for adoption. Here are a few canines that tugged at our heartstrings this month...

September 2007 Scruffy Dogs

I am remiss in posting scruffy dogs to this blog. Sorry about that. We've been moving and that, plus business travel, has had me swamped for months. But we're settling in to our new home, the dogs are adjusting and I'm back at the helm once again.

I hope we can continue providing updates, at least monthly. And for more of the "daily life" stories of living with scruffy dogs, I'll be updating my Scruffy Dogs blog at least several times a week.

Here are this month's group of scruffy dogs available for adoption:

Willow -- This scruffy little terrier pup has a whole litter of brothers and sisters who are also in need of good homes. It's rare to find such an adorable bunch of little scruffy dogs available for adoption, so they'll probably go fast. I just couldn't resist posting this little one here...

Roy -- Look at that face. Young, sweet stray and deserving of a nice home. He's at animal control, so he needs to find a home quickly!

Lindberg -- With all the hoopla about low-shed labradoodles, I should think this scruffy dog would be dreamy.

Mickey -- Ok, she's not exactly scruffy, but I have this soft spot for older dogs who need homes, and I think the folks at Best Friends are doing wonderful work.

Rocket - What a cutie - he's still a youngster and he's at a shelter so his days are limited. He looks to me like a PBGV crossed with something leggier.

Roo -- No longer listed, let's hope Roo found a good home.

Bobby -- His listing is still active. Let's find this senior dog a nice home!

Cooter -- ADOPTED!!!

Keebler -- ADOPTED!!!

Zip -- Listing removed, let's hope Zip found a new home!

Dogs, Scruffy and Otherwise

We've taken a bit of a break, but we'll soon be back with the latest group of adorable, scruffy dogs available for adoption. And we'd also encourage anyone who wishes to support no-kill shelters to have a look at what Tara's Babies Animal Welfare is doing in Arizona. This no-kill sanctuary began after Hurricane Katrina, as their volunteers worked tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate homeless dogs and cats. They're working to obtain some property in Dakini Valley, Arizona and have created a beautiful slide show .

12-5 Scruffy Dogs

Bennie - They say he's an Airedale/wirehaired terrier mix...I can sure see the Airedale, and the coloring looks a lot like a German Wirehaired Pointer or a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon might be in there somewhere. What a cutie!



My Little Pony - Funny name, but what great eyebrows!











Shaggy - What a sweet dog...

We Adopted a Scruffy Dog...

If you want to read a scruffy dog adoption story, check my Scruffy Dogs blog for how we adopted Kirby...

And if you are interested in getting an extremely sweet, scruffy puppy, Kirby has four other litter-mates who are every bit as sweet and adorable as he is, and he has a mom and grandma who are also up for adoption.

Kirby's Family (he was formerly known as Milo):

Mabel and Marie: We almost adopted Mabel. For us, it was between her and Kirby...and Kirby came out ahead because he took a shine to us right away. If we had more room, I'd go adopt Mabel tomorrow.

Marie was very sweet also, a little shorter and soooo cute!




UPDATE: Both Mabel (left) and Marie (right) have been adopted!







Morgan and Morris: These are the other two males in Kirby's family. Morgan is scruffy, with adorable reddish, wiry hair. Morris is smooth-coated and looks very much like a dachsund, but he gets a spot on Adopt a Scruffy Dog by association. Morgan is very friendly. Morris is very shy, but sweet.

UPDATE: Both Morgan (left) and Morris (right) have been adopted!

And last, but not least, is Meg, the mother of these sweet puppies! We met the grandmother, but not the mother. She looks similar and is a wonderful dog. We wanted to bring her home too, of course...

UPDATE: Meg has been rescued by Smiley Dog Rescue. A bunch of happy endings for this little family!

Kayla looks like she's had a close shave, but when it grows out, she'll be a scruffy beauty!









Jasmine - She's still a puppy...

Sandee - They say everyone has a double somewhere...When we were in France recently we met a sweet, scruffy girl named Patsi who could be Sandee's twin!
