Tina is missing all his teeth, but that doesn’t slow him down or affect his cheerful spirit.

About Tina Turner Shaggy

Tina Turner Shaggy got his name thanks to his distinctive look, though he’s not attached to it and answers to just about anything—Tommy, T, TT, you name it. After being abandoned in a backyard for a few days, he landed safely at the rescue, fully vetted, cleaned up, and ready for a real home. Nobody’s certain of his breed mix, and honestly, that scruffy hair looks like it belongs on a rock star. He’s a cheerful little guy, always curious and happy to get a snack or a few pats. Bath time doesn’t faze him, and he gets along fine with dogs and cats—though he sometimes gets a little pushy at dinner, likely just because he’s figuring out the new rules. Verbally correcting him works; he wants to be good and shadows his people closely for reassurance. Considering his past, he’s adjusted well and is a happy, playful soul. He especially loves to play ball outside, but with no teeth and a perpetually flopping tongue, the tennis balls don’t always cooperate. According to the vet, his teeth were removed some time ago, but he’s in good health otherwise, and always keen to do his business outside. Whether curling up in bed or settling comfortably nearby, he’s easy to please and eager to love. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
