About Shaggy
Meet Shaggy, a big, sharp German Shepherd-type mix, weighing in at 91 lbs and about three years old. Shaggyâs had his share of adventures out in the world, so heâll need a secure yard and a handler whoâs steady and attentive. Donât even think about bringing cats into the pictureâShaggy simply doesnât do cats. Recently, heâs 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. Heâs particularly sharp with leash training and reads his handlerâs cues quicklyâmost 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. Heâll 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!
