Here's what the humans have to say about me:
To MEET Shaggy - fill out an application. Cut and paste this link into your web browser: 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
Type of home: Shaggy loves to play with other dogs! He's also very good with children, but he is a little noise sensitive. He would make a wonderful companion for either a single person or family who wants to spend time with their furry family member.
Crate trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Adoption fee (non-refundable): $300
All dogs are fully vetted, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations. Shaggy will be getting neutered in a week or two.
Our adoption process looks like this:
1. Adoption application review by WHDR board
2. Adoption application approval
3. Meet and greet
4. Home safety check
5. Final approval and adoption finalized
Our volunteers, donors and adopters mean the world to us! Without you, we couldn't do what we do - saving the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and providing them with a loving forever home.
