Shaggy

Description

Meet Shaggy!Shaggy is a 4-year-old neutered Rat Terrier mix with a sweet personality and a pretty easygoing approach to life. He's happy to make a friend and warms up quickly to new people. Shaggy has a nice low-medium energy level. He'll run across the house in a moment of excitement or do a wander around the yard, but most of the time he's happy to watch the world go by outside or curl up in a comfortable bed and snooze for hours. He's not a dog who needs constant entertainment and is perfectly happy relaxing while you go about your day or work away from home. He's also very well crate trained and seems to genuinely consider it his safe place to retreat to.Food is definitely the way to Shaggy's heart! He's an enthusiastic eater, which also makes treats a great way to build his confidence and work on new skills. He'd probably be a very good little scentwork dog if you're looking for a buddy to develop a new hobby with. He has an independent streak and isn't overly clingy, but he's happy to go along with your suggestions most of the time. Shaggy has lived alongside dogs and cats. He does need a little time and personal space when meeting new canine friends, and he appreciates dogs who don't rush into introductions. He can coexist just fine, but would like to decide when he's ready to exchange sniffs. Shaggy will be a lovely companion for someone looking for a friendly, moderately active smaller dog.
