Meet Scruffy
Scruffy is an 8-9 year old (best guess on age) female Yorkie Chihuahua mix who weighs in at 8 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $250. If you are still interested, please read more below.
This pup is a sweet scruffy senior. She was found locally as a stray. She came to ARF and was spayed and got her teeth cleaned. Scruffy feels so much better now! This little lady would love to have a yard to chase some squirrels and birds. She may, however, see cats as prey. She is good with other dogs and seems ok with kids. Scruffy has a bit of pep in her step for a senior. She will surely enjoy some nice walks outside as she learns what walking on a leash is all about (she will walk on a leash but it seems new to her). Scruffy does ok in a crate after some brief fussing. She enjoys car rides.
Scruffy is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and recently spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
