About Shaggy

Meet Shaggy! Your future little sidekick, cuddle buddy, and professional zoomie enthusiast. This 3-month-old Yorkie/Terrier mix is a bouncy bundle of happiness. He loves running around the yard, playing, and keeping tabs on his favorite humans to ensure he doesn’t miss out on any fun. Shaggy gets along well with other dogs, is curious about cats, and enjoys the company of tiny humans! Because he's a little guy, children ages 5 and up would be the best fit for him. Currently, he's working on potty training, building his confidence, and navigating those spirited puppy feelings (yes, he’s in the nippy stage!). He sleeps quietly in his crate at night and happily snuggles up close to his family. Whether he’s chasing toys, following you around the house, or curling up for quality cuddle time, Shaggy is excited to bring a whole lot of love and laughter to his future home! Note that applicants must be willing to commute to Burlington, WI for a meet and greet. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
