Story
Shaggy and Scooby were abandoned along with their siblings by the original owner, the litter were separated and cared in different households, I have been asking friends, families and communities to adopt these gentle adorable dogs but have not had any luck. I myself cannot care for them as I live in a 55+ condo community where they are not allowed and have two little dogs of my own, they have been at my sons house for a year while I try to get them adopted, but he is now in the process of relocating and I need to urgently find a home for them. They are well behaved dogs who needs someone who had the time and energy for them. they are not professionally trained but they do listen so a few commands.
