About Shaggy

Meet Shaggy! Shaggy is a gentle senior boy, making strides in his journey to feel safe and comfortable in a home. Initially reserved, he possesses all the charm of a sweet companion with surprising energy. He’s good with other dogs and currently shares his foster home with various dogs of different sizes and personalities. While he hasn’t been around cats, we think he’ll likely do well with them. He’s a bit nervous in new situations and benefits from patience and routine. Leash walking is a new concept for him, and he’ll need practice, but he might enjoy being carried or riding in a stroller for outings. Shaggy is working on house manners, keeps his crate clean overnight, and shows no food aggression. Shaggy thrives in a quiet, patient environment where gentle handling and soft voices are the norm. At this time, he's not recommended for homes with children. He needs a caring adopter to help him build confidence. Ready to meet Shaggy? Don’t hesitate! Let’s make his next chapter the best one yet.
