Shaggy's Story...

To MEET Shaggy - fill out an application. http://www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/adoption/application-to-adopt-a-companion/

Weight: 10 lbs

Age: 1-2 years

Personality: Shaggy is a wonderful, affectionate, playful and sweet boy. He was very shut down and shy when he was first rescued, but his personality has blossomed in the loving care of his foster mom.

Coat: Short, soft coat trimmed into a puppy cut style. His coat will continue to grow longer and will require regular bathing and occasional professional grooming.

Training: Knows sit.

Potty trained: Yes

Health: Excellent, no known health problems. Was examined by the vet for heart, knee and hip problems, with no issues found.

History: Shaggy was abandoned in an apartment complex by his family in late November 2015. Luckily a neighbor took him into their home and kept him safe. He was so afraid and shut down that he sat huddled in the corner for a week! He slowly came out of his shell and became a very friendly affectionate dog. The family who saved him can no longer keep him since they're away from the house for 14 hours at a time. They love him and wanted a better life for him. He deserves a home with people who have time to care for a loving little dog.

Fostered in: Chino Hills with 2 dogs and several cats
