Canine Valentines

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Darlin. This sweet, scruffy dog's owner passed away. He looks like Baxter's and Kirby's parents got together...! 

Darlin

Gordon

Scruffy

Gordon... what a sweetheart! With Wirehaired Pointing Griffon in there, he would be!











And Scruffy is another heart-melter!  At 11 pounds, he's the perfect lapdog.

Harry

Last, but not least, Harry. It sounds like he has some emotional issues to sort out, which probably make him a little harder to adopt. So while I usually like to feature dogs who are ready for family life, I wanted to give Harry here a little shout out, because sometimes the ones who need a little more tender love and care are the most appreciative of all!

Scruffy Dogs: Holiday 2010

After writing my ScruffyDog blog entry about the Portuguese Podengo -- a scruffy dog breed that is taking the US by storm, I realized that it is time to resurrect the Adopt a Scruffy Dog blog to find homes for other scruffy canines -- purebreds and mixes -- that are every bit as cute and a whole lot less complicated to adopt than a rare European breed. So here we go...  If you are looking for an adorable, scruffy dog to join your family this holiday season, have a look!

Belle

Belle is described as a German Wirehaired Pointer...but her longer coat suggests she may be a mix (Wirehaired Pointing Griffon perhaps?) or possibly even a Labradoodle. In any case, she is adorably Baxter-esque, don't you think?

Chi Chi

Chi Chi is a little scruffy dog...rescued from Puerto Rico. What a little sweetie!







Speaking of Podengos, Sophie here looks an awful lot like one!

Scruffy

And little Scruffy does too... only lap dog size.
