Elderly Scruffy Dog in Portland Area Needs a Home

I haven't kept up on this blog for a long time, but this one is really tugging at my heart strings...

Pearl is a 12-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer who has somehow ended up at the Clackamas County animal shelter. She looks a bit like a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon to me... but I don't know her story. At least not yet. All I know is that I will do what I can to help find her a warm, safe home to live out her golden years.

If you live in the Portland, Oregon area or anywhere else in Oregon, Washington, California or Idaho, please tell your friends. I'm in contact with a group of folks who are willing to help get this girl to neighboring states.

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!

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