Scruffy is a 12 year old fawn male Pug. He came to us
as an unclaimed stray from the shelter and he was in bad shape.
He had a skin condition, ticks and was extremely thin. Scruffy was
so badly cared for that he now has chronic demodectic mange which
just will not go away. In order to keep his skin under control Scruffy
will be staying on as a PROS pug so we can monitor and keep him
comfortable and continue medical treatment as needed. He's happy
and well loved in his foster home but would love to have a sponsor
to help with his ongoing medical care. Scruffy has been Hospice
Pugs since August 2005
July 2011 Update: Mr. Scruffy is doing quite well especially for an older gentleman. Scruffy can still walk about half a mile, has put some healthy weight on and now sleeps in his own bed...with lots of pillows, of course. When he first came to PROS, his skin was a mess, he'd been wandering the streets of Modesto, he was shy and had been named "Dirty Harry''. Today he's quite lovable and will guard the bar-b-que with his life. His hearing isn't very good (deaf is more like it) but he sure "hears" his dinner dish! We just love him and he returns the love two fold. Scruffy and PROS appreciate the generous donations to his continued medical care.
Thank you to Scruffy's sponsors Nazzi Shishido, Angela Cordes, Delmar Orrell and Miss Sally Bobbin.
