This couple traveled from a rural area in Montgomery County, where they have a small farm, to see what available puppies we had for adoption.

When they saw these two — Scruffy and Tuffy — were the only two left of a litter, they could not break their bond and decided to adopt both of them on the spot.

These adopters have had dogs their entire lives, but took a break after losing their last dog earlier this year. We know these pups will live out their lives safe and sound in a loving, forever home.
