My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shaggy was confiscated due to a cruelty case and one look at his adorable little face and you can see the remnants of the trauma he lived for many years of his life. Confined to a cage and never given proper care for his coat, he grew into one massive ball of wool which made it painful for him to move and meant he had to be shaved down to the bone upon being rescued. The hair from his nose where it was pressed tightly against the cage, is completely worn off, making him look like a white Koala.

His hair is starting to grow back and before long most of the scars from his ordeal will be gone but that nose will be a constant reminder of this little hero. Shaggy is approximately 3 – 4 yrs old and currently weighs approximately 21 lbs and although he could definitely gain a little weight, he is just the right size for a big heart.
