Scruffy is looking for a good home/family who will spend lots of time with her, take her for long walks and most importantly give her lots of love...

This is Scruffy's story:

About a month ago, I was at my usual coffee shop in Hulu Kelang this morning, when I saw this tiny puppy wandering round the shop. She was really frail and quite dirty with a skin condition, and was looking for a kind person to cuddle up to and not so much for food.

But of course Malaysians being Malaysians, most of them shoo-ed her away and some even kicked her.

The coffee shop owner then informed me that her mother had recently been killed - someone had poisoned her.

As I usually have a small amount of dog food with me in the car, I gave her some. She ate a little but just wanted to be petted. She then went to another table curled up at the feet of this old man. Thankfully this man did not kick her. I asked several people if they would take her, but of course none would.

In the end, I asked the shop owner for a box and brought her home. I just could not bring myself to leave her there.

I took her to the vet and it was confirmed that she had a severe case of sarcoptic mange. She was treated with Ivermectin for 5 weeks and she is now a healthy, active puppy.

We're not entirely sure what breed she is, but she looks like she could have some Jack Russell in her and possibly some Dalmation as well as she has quite a lot of spots...

She has just received her first vaccination and will be completing the remaining 2 shots soon.

She has a very good temperament and is good with other dogs. She is curious about our cat and has shown no signs of aggression towards it. She is very playful and is a fast learner.
