📍 Location: Essex , CM1
🌟 RBU, post-adoption support and 4 weeks free insurance provided upon adoption (on request)
🐾 Scruffy (previously Chip) is a beautiful, fluffy terrier cross, around 2.5 years old, short in size but full of warmth and spirit.
Poor Scruffy is looking for home more than a month. He failed a few meet-and-greets with NO FAULT OF HIS OWN! His only fault is that on pictures he looks smaller. He is short but sturdy— a full-size body on very short legs.
He’s an affectionate little chap who loves cuddles, good food, and peaceful walks. With his soft eyes and scruffy charm, he’s impossible not to love – he just needs the right home to help him flourish.

🔹 SIZE: Small [around 30–32 cm shoulder height / 12 kg]
🔹 SPAYED/NEUTERED: Yes
🔹 CHARACTER HIGHLIGHTS: Loyal • Affectionate • Sensitive • Loving
🔹 DOGS: Good with dogs, but can bark when on the lead
🔹 CATS: Untested
🔹 CHILDREN: Best with adults or older, calm children
💔 Why a New Home Is Needed
Scruffy arrived in the UK over a month ago and was warmly welcomed by a kind family. Unfortunately, it now became clear that the home wasn’t quite the right match. Scruffy finds loud noises, running young children, and their sudden movements overwhelming. He also gets anxious when people pick children up – a reaction that’s perfectly understandable for a dog who never saw such human behaviour .
His family describes him as a wonderful little dog who simply needs a calmer environment: “He has such a lot of love to give. He loves his cuddles and his food. He’s house-trained, enjoys his walks, and would make a great companion for someone on their own.”
🐶 About Scruffy
Scruffy is a sweet-natured, intelligent boy who bonds deeply and quickly with his person. He loves routine, gentle attention, and quiet companionship. Once he feels secure, his affectionate side shines – he’ll follow you around, snuggle in for cuddles, and give you those loving eyes that say it all. He’s fully house-trained, enjoys his walks, and would thrive in a calm home where he can truly relax and feel safe.
🏡 Ideal Family
Scruffy would be happiest with someone active, but same time steady and gentle. He loves his walks but doesn’t need endless exercise. With continued calm socialisation, he’ll gain more confidence around other dogs, he can be the only dog or with friendly not boisterous female dog.
💞 Scruffy may have had a rocky start, but his heart is pure gold. For the right person, he will be the most loyal, loving, and grateful little friend – a true companion who will bring warmth and quiet joy into your home.
