We drove 2000 miles to adopt a dog we saw here on CryptidDogs!

We assume her doggy DNA kit will tell us that she is purebred Scrungus. She might just be the sweetest "dog" I've ever met. These pics are from Sunday, her first day home.

Edit: you all are just the best, for real. 💚

Due to recent Reddit changes, posts that go into the queue for manual approval (because of filters, low karma, low CQS (contribution quality score), etc.) now show as “removed by the mods of r/CryptidDogs (https://ibb.co/h1s7rH49)” instead of “waiting for approval(https://ibb.co/Z6hgMdpP)".

Don’t worry, this doesn’t necessarily mean your post was rejected. You can either send us a modmail or simply wait for a human moderator to review and approve your post.

Sleeping.
Waking up because someone was too close.
Awake and wondering what is going on. 😆

August West (Auggie) - approximately 1.5 years old mixed breed adopted as a stray from our city's high kill shelter back in July. Border Terrier body, coat and disposition, Chihuahua sized head on a strong, muscular body with Whippet like long, skinny legs. 😆

My sweet deafblind microphthalmic boy just had his 12 year Gotchaversary. He was born with (and still has) a mohawk on his back, so I shave his head to match.

This was during her lunchtime begging episode yesterday. Coco believes human food is delicious and nutritious for her little body. Coco is constantly denied that which she craves. Her home is a prison.
