I'm super excited to announce that Mr. McRuff went home with his forever family! The day after he arrived at Pets Alive in Middletown, NY, McRuff's new people took him home. Thanks so much to everyone who played a part in McRuff's journey and to his wonderful new family for allowing me to share their pictures. From the looks of the photos and video, McRuff is going to have a fantastic life. His family is so thrilled to have him and I am grateful that McRuff will be comfortable, loved, and appreciated for years to come. McRuff is a very energetic and cheerful little guy; I know he will bring his new family tons of joy!
Mr. McRuff leaves us today to board the FODA van and head to Pets Alive in NY. We wish the best for this scrufftastic little dude! Pets Alive will do an awesome job finding the perfect people for him...hope they love to play tug of war all day long!

This adorable little scruff-butt is Mr. McRuff. He is a small male Yorky x something mix (maybe Cairn Terrier or Schnauzer?). He came into DeKalb County Animal Services as a stray. I think he's pretty young; he's very playful, has healthy white teeth, and loves to spend hours chewing on his toys. McRuff is too darn cute for his own good. He follows me around wherever I go and looks up at me with his little mustached face like, "Lady, how can you resist playing with me?" When I sit down to eat dinner, McRuff lays down at my feet by my chair and sleeps. He's super friendly with other dogs and he loves to play tug of war with anyone who's willing to participate. His little paws are so soft and silky, too.
McRuff is getting the hang of house training pretty well, but it's been raining here for four days straight so it's tough to perfect. When the sun comes out, I think he'll have no problems knowing when and where to go potty. He sleeps in his crate quietly and happily all night. He is heartworm negative, neutered, and knows how to sit. He picked up on his name really fast. McRuff is scheduled for transport with FODA this Saturday. He's heading to Pets Alive in NY, the same group that took Cindy Lou Who in December. While he's a super temporary resident of our household, McRuff has already won me over and made himself right at home. I have no doubt he'll make somebody up north a really great little buddy! I hope his forever family is ready for tons and tons of super sweet scruffy kisses!
