Story

Shaggy is a young sweetheart with a soft spirit and a heart full of love. He was found out in the country alongside his brother, Scooby, and it’s likely the two had been running for quite some time before they were brought to safety. Through it all, Shaggy has remained incredibly gentle and trusting.A submissive little people-pleaser, Shaggy has a softer, more sensitive energy than his brother. He looks to his humans for reassurance and truly wants to do the right thing. He’s extremely sweet, playful, and very malleable — the kind of pup who will blossom beautifully with patient guidance and positive reinforcement.Shaggy enjoys playtime and affection in equal measure. He handles new people and situations fairly well, especially when he has a calm, confident human by his side. He seems relatively dog-friendly, though dog-to-dog meet-and-greets are always recommended for any dogs in the home.Like any young pup, Shaggy will need continued work on general manners, learning to settle, and potty training. But his eager-to-please personality will make training a rewarding experience for the right family.Shaggy is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and heartworm tested (negative). His adoption fee has been generously fully sponsored by his finder! You can apply to adopt Shaggy at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 or come by to meet him and our other adoptable pets Tuesday-Saturday from 1pm-4pm.If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will grow alongside you and soak up every bit of love you give, Shaggy is ready to start his next chapter.

Story

Scooby is a young, energetic, and incredibly sweet boy with a heart as big as his playful spirit. He was found out in the country alongside his brother, Shaggy, and it’s likely the two had been on the run for a while before finding safety. Despite that, Scooby has handled the transition into shelter life like a champ.He’s loving, playful, and adjusts to new people and situations fairly well. Scooby has a slightly more confident personality, which helps him bounce back quickly and approach life with curiosity and enthusiasm. He seems relatively dog-friendly, though dog-to-dog meet-and-greets are always recommended for any pups already in the home. He may even do okay with cats, given proper introductions.Like many young dogs, Scooby could use some polishing on his manners, he’s still working on things like not jumping up, learning how to settle, and mastering potty training. But underneath that puppy energy is a well-rounded, eager boy who truly wants to connect and learn.With structure, consistency, and lots of love, Scooby has so much potential to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup ready to start his next chapter, Scooby might just be your guy.Scooby is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, and preventatives. His adoption fee has been generously fully sponsored by his finder!You can get a head start by filling out our adoption questionnaire at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 or stop by to meet Scooby and all of our adoptable pets Tuesday–Saturday from 1pm–4pm.

Sprout

Boxer

Female, Puppy

Estherville, IA

Story

Sprout and her sibs Pea, Bean, and Leek started life in less than ideal circumstances. Somehow, Mama Princess managed to keep four of them alive long enough for them to respond to intervention. Leek and Bean are extra snuggly and sweet. Leek is surprisingly chill for his age. Pea is the littlest with extra tough girl energy. She loves human attention but can be a little naughty. Sprout is mellow and not tough at all. Otherwise, they are all fairly typical playful puppies. Sprout is microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and dewormed. If she is not spayed by the time he is adopted, she will be on a spay/neuter contract. With an approved application, his adoption fee is $300 .00. ****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org**** February 28, 2026, 2:48 pm
