About Shaggy

Shaggy is an energetic and affectionate young Yorkie mix looking for a loving home. He’s roughly 1.5 to 2 years old, weighs about 10 pounds, and has a playful personality that shines through his silly antics. After facing a lot of changes in his short life, he needs a stable environment where someone can be patient while he learns housebreaking. He’s great with other dogs and seems to be fine with children, though a home without cats is best since he loves to chase them. Shaggy does have some leg abnormalities, including a crooked front leg and a luxating patella in one of his back legs, which may cause him to limp occasionally. Despite this, he remains active and playful, fully embracing life. All pets in the program are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. To find out more about Shaggy or to see if he might be the right fit for you, reach out to his foster mom. Ready to make a difference for Shaggy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
