Meet Shaggy, a big, sharp German Shepherd-type mix, weighing in at 91 lbs and about three years old. Shaggy’s had his share of adventures out in the world, so he’ll need a secure yard and a handler who’s steady and attentive. Don’t even think about bringing cats into the picture—Shaggy simply doesn’t do cats. Recently, he’s proven himself on road trips with the transport crew, quietly riding in a crate or even loose in the car. At the park, he enjoyed wandering on a long lead (though untangling himself is still a work in progress). His recall is spotty but improving, and he handled meeting town dogs and people with calm, polite interest. This is a dog who wants to bond; he gives gentle kisses, stays grounded when greeting folks, and leans in for affection. He’s particularly sharp with leash training and reads his handler’s cues quickly—most corrections are just to keep him from marking territory everywhere. Shaggy can open simple gates with his nose, so secure fencing and a strong, consistent handler are a must. He’ll connect fast with his family and bring a lot of smarts and loyalty to the right home. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
