Hello! My name is Scruffy and I am one of a very special family of dogs my handlers like to call 'long dogs' - being half big half small and slightly stretched in the middle! I arrived at the Dogs Home in August 2005 and am a 2 year old with lots of personality. My abundance of energy has led me from two previous homes to a kennel at Battersea, where I have bounced off the walls straight into the arms of the Behaviour Unit. A further rebound has landed me in foster care, which is great but I am longing for a home I can call my own. I am looking for:

• Owners who have had experience of owning their own dogs previously (preferably terrier types) and are interested in doing some training


• Owners who are around most of the time and are able to build up leaving hours gradually


• People who have an active lifestyle with time to initally invest in giving me the guidence I need


• A semi-rural environment preferred, so I can start training without too many distractions


• An adult household without any children because I need owners who will be consistent with me


• They say I could possibly live with a mature, non-problematic dog, if it is a good match

The Behaviour Unit have found Scruffy to be an intelligent and responsive dog to work with, but he does not find the kennel environment easy to cope with. Consequently potential new owners have so far overlooked this very rehomeable little lad. Scruffy is currently being fostered by a member of staff at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Please call the Behaviour Unit on 020 7627 7884 if you are interested in Scruffy or e-mail us on [email protected] and quote reference number 2005/40236
