Pet of the Week: Scruffie the Terrier

West Orange Animal Welfare League has a Tan Wirehaired Terrier Mix up for adoption.

Are you seaching for a new addition the family — Scruffie is just the candidate!

If you are looking for a furry best friend this St. Patrick's Day weekend, you have struck the pot of gold. Scruffie is an absolutely adorable, small dog with scruffy wire hair. She is young, perhaps a year old and in good health. 

Scruffie was found running in the street, rescued by a good Samaritan and brought to the WO Animal League. Now, with some luck, she will soon find her forever home.
