Meet SINPA. 8.5 years old and looking for his furever, SINPA is the kind of scruff that loves affection from his humans and would spend every morning cuddling you if he could. Sound like the perfect match? We think so, yes! He’s just so gosh darn lovable! Oh, and FYI, he LOVES a head massage. Fun fact: SINPA’s mid-air treat-catching ability is impressive, and even more so when you learn that he has one working eye! What else can we share about this? Well, SINPA had a previous injury to his left eye, which is now non-functional. It causes him no discomfort!

He’s a tripawd (AKA tripod), meaning he’s got 3 out of the 4 legs that dogs typically have. Does this stop him from enjoying all the things he loves most in this world? Definitely not. With his medium energy level, SINPA has been getting the hang of leashed walks. Know that he does have a fear of moving vehicles, which you’ll see from jumping or barking. He’s been diligently working through this with his foster family by his side. What’s going to really set him up for success is having a confident handler by his side who enforces a structured routine.

SINPA is comfortable living with his scruff brother, and we’re pleased to share that he has many dog pals in the neighbourhood. Human pals too, for that matter! He’s become a much more confident scruff in his foster’s care and thoroughly enjoys checking out new walking routes for maximum exploration. You’ll find he’s also a fan of stopping to smell the roses and basically any other smell.

SINPA is happy to exercise his independence when you’re out and about, likes passing the time by watching nearby squirrels, and inspecting the grass in his foster family’s yard. At home, you'll often find him at his favourite lookout post: the front screen door, where he keeps a watchful eye and occasionally shares his opinions about loud vehicles with some barking. What can we say? He loves his peace and quiet.

If you think SINPA might be the scruff for you, we’d love for you to apply to adopt!

Please note: Adoption fees for senior scruffs vary depending on age, breed, and health! SINPA’s adoption fees are $550.

He’s legendary. He’s got heart. He’s NANDO. Bringing the heat, or, rather, the affection when you need it most, NANDO is as loyal as they come. Some even consider him a Velcro dog :) You’ll soon find that all this scruff wants is to be with his people, which, in our books, is the best kind of soul-soothing comfort out there. Feel free to give him ALL the tummy rubs.

NANDO is big on Netflix and napping, but, while he may be a senior, he’s got a sweet puppy-like energy to him with some goofball tendencies. Some of his fav pastimes include using his nose to sniff all the smells and playing hide and seek during a midday burst of energy. Then, of course, it’s back to his nap schedule.

Being a little shy in new situations, it’s your confident, calm guidance that will have him catching on quickly to what he needs to learn in your care! While he warms up to people fairly quickly giving kisses right off the bat, it can take him more time to get comfortable with males. With you advocating for him, he’ll quickly learn to trust you’re setting him up for success. He’s likely to do well in a calm, quiet home where his people are home more often than not.

Just like the first bite of that perfectly grilled peri-peri chicken, this scruff will add a burst of joy to your everyday life. Apply to adopt NANDO today. It’s a wing-wing situation after all!
