About Shug

Shug is a charming little guy, born on August 1, 2026. This tiny pup is currently just 4 pounds and has a sleek black coat that gives him a standout appearance. Though we're not quite certain about his exact lineage, he likely has some Lab and Beagle in him. Baby Shug is up to date on deworming and will be receiving his vaccinations very soon. He's not yet neutered, but arrangements will be made for that around the age of six months. It’s important to note that prospective puppy adopters should be within a 2-3 hour radius of Hampton Roads, VA, or Northeastern North Carolina, as he must be picked up in person. Shug will head home starting at nine weeks old on a one-week adoption trial. If everything goes smoothly, a $275 adoption fee will finalize the process post-neuter, along with an additional $85 to cover the surgery costs. Should you decide not to adopt during the trial period, he simply needs to be returned. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
