Scruff has many friends, such as Hauntie the Hound, White Socks the Fox, Sanda, Tricks and Strummer the Flea, who used to live on performing circus dog.

Characters

*Scruff- A young pup with boundless curiosity. His inquisitive nature sometimes gets him into a lot of trouble.

*Strummer- A flea who lives on Scruff, and often provides him with advice. He plays the guitar, and once lived on a circus dog.

*Peter- Scruff's owner, he shares a lot of personality points with his pet. He dreams of being in a circus.

*Uncle Ron and Aunt Lil- Peter's aunt and uncle, the owners of Tolosa Farm. They are a standard, alomost stereotypical, farm couple.

*Sanda- The most mature dog on the farm, she serves as the watchdog/tracker for the owners. She has a kind heart, but Scruff sometimes pushes her to her limits.

*Tricks- Sanda's son, and Scruff's best friend.

*Miaow- Uncle Ron and Aunt Lil's pet cat. He has little love for the dogs on the farm, especially Scruff.

*White Socks- A fox who lives in the forest near the farm. Although selfish and unscrupulous, he does have a soft spot for Scruff, helping him on many occasions.

*Haunty Hound- The 300-year-old ghost of a hound dog, he haunts the farmhouse cellar. Only Scruff, Strummer, and later, White Socks, are aware of his existence.

*Holly- Peter's girlfriend, a kindly and down-to-earth person. She is sometimes irritated by Peter's impulsive behaviour, but deep down, loves him very much.

*Princess- Holly's pet dog. Originally shown as haughty and stuck-up, she later falls in love with Scruff.

*Mr. Caboot- Holly's father. A rich man, he deeply disapproves of the working-class Peter's relationship with his daughter.

*Buttons- A mushroom vendor, who tries to make money through any means, legal or illegal.

*Truffles- Buttons' mushroom-sniffing dog. He doesn't agree with his master's more unscrupulous activities, but stays with him out of loyalty. He later has a romantic relationship with Sanda.

*One-Man Circus- A crooked clown. He is obsessed with kidnapping Scruff, who is a rare breed of dog, and making him into the star attraction of his circus.
