Meet Scrug, the scruffy pug! Scrug found himself at Chicago Animal Care and Control when he was found as a stray. We couldn't wait to bring him to Heartland, if only to look at that scruggy face every day!

This scruffy little gremlin looks like he was assembled from leftover mop parts, and we're here for it. He's full of personality, and happily greets everyone he meets with enthusiasm and that adorable smile!

Scrug may not win "Most Polished Dog," but he would absolutely dominate "Guy You'd Want Stuck With During a Road Trip." He's weird, cuddly, and funny, our favorite combo!

Scrug would love nothing more than to fill your home with affection and silly antics. That face is sure to bring the crowds, come meet him today!

Scrug's adoption fee is $375. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
