Scruffy
Disheveled dog's name
Scruffy describes someone or something shabby, unkempt, or slightly dirty in appearance.
A scruffy beard is untrimmed; scruffy clothes are worn and wrinkled.
The word suggests mild neglect rather than outright filth—more endearingly disheveled than truly dirty: He showed up looking scruffy after a weekend of camping.
