Shaggy's Story

Shaggy is a 4-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his beautiful, soulful eyes. This classic shepherd boy may take a little time to trust, but once you're in his circle, you're really in – and it’s worth every moment of patience. When Shaggy decides you’re his person, get ready for full-on lovebug mode: leaning his entire body against you for affection, and his signature move – gently sticking his head between your legs to ask for love. (Yes, it’s as sweet as it sounds.)<br/><br/>One of Shaggy’s greatest joys? Water! Whether he's sprinting around the yard or splashing in his pool, Shaggy lives for playtime in the water. After his pool adventures, he’s all about lounging and relaxing – a perfect mix of active and chill.<br/><br/>He’s fabulous on a leash and enjoys walks with his trusted humans. Like many dogs with a tough past, Shaggy appreciates his space and will growl if he feels uncomfortable – a totally normal way for dogs to communicate. He just asks for respect and understanding.<br/><br/>Because he’s protective of his space, Shaggy would do best in a calm, adult-only home with no cats or other dogs. His ideal match? A confident, patient, and dog-savvy person who will give him the time he needs to feel safe, and the love he’s been waiting almost a year for.<br/><br/>Shaggy didn’t have a good life before he came into rescue, and he’s been waiting over 300 days to find his person. He’s ready for a second chance. Could that person be you?
