One of our adopters heard of Scratch's plight - he had been abandoned in a backyard after the owners had moved.

We realize that Scratch isn't a German Shepherd. But one look at this little guy and we had to help! He's maybe ... a ... husk-herd. Common, you can see it!

Scratch is about 4 mos old and, not surprisingly, he loves everyone. At his first (and only) adoption event, one of Oceanside's finest came to visit all the dogs and he christened him Scratch. We had to agree with the police, of course!

Scratch is a baby and a 10-15 year commitment - if you are willing to put the time and energy into raising and training a puppy (and we never say there's no terrier in there!) to become a good canine citizen, then please fill out an application.
