About Shaggy girl

Shaggy Girl is a very shy, small Chiweenie/Shih Tzu mix who just arrived at the rescue. She grew up in a unique situation—her previous owner was an elderly truck driver, so she's used to living with lots of dogs, going in and out of a dog door, and sleeping in bed with her person, but she hasn't experienced much beyond that. Because of this background, Shaggy Girl is skittish with new people and situations but responds well to patience and kindness. She needs a committed adopter who understands rescue dogs, is prepared to give her a gradual introduction to the home, and is willing to confine her safely at first while she learns to trust and settle in. Shaggy Girl thrives best with another small, confident dog in the household and is looking for a calm, understanding environment where she can open up at her own pace. She's fully vetted, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and knows how to use the doggy door. She gets along with dogs, cats, and children, but will need a slow, gentle transition. Fun fact: Shaggy Girl was born on March 17, making her a dreamy, intuitive Pisces. If you’re looking for a project pup who will reward you with loyalty, she’s ready for a new chapter.
