Meet Lonnie!
Lonnie, a 2 yo terrier/poodle mix is the ultimate scruffy: he has wiry hair on his face & muzzle, thick wavy fur on his torso, and curly/floofy hair on his curly-Q tail that sits atop his low back! Lonnie was pulled from a high kill shelter where he had been residing for several months since being picked up as a stray.
Lonnie loves to play with other dogs and requires a confident buddy to be happy and outgoing. He also likes toys. At 22# he would be comfortable in a house or an apartment. Chain link fences are out as he is a climber.
Lonnie is just an adorable, good boy looking for his forever home.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
