Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Shaggy is a cute little 9½-pound Chihuahua–Terrier mix who came to us from Laredo, Texas, where he had been living in a backyard with several other dogs and was covered in fleas and ticks.

When he first arrived at Tracy’s Paws, Shaggy was understandably unsure of people. We don’t believe he had much handling in his previous life, and at first he would curl his lip and give us a bit of a stink-eye. But as the days passed and he realized he was safe, his true personality began to shine through. Underneath that cautious start is a very sweet, gentle little boy.

Shaggy is about three to four years old. Because he needs a little time to warm up to new people, we are recommending a home without small children, where he can feel secure and build trust at his own pace.

The good news is that Shaggy is heartworm-negative and Chagas-negative, and he is more than ready to trade rescue life for a quiet home of his own.

What Shaggy would love most is a soft lap, a patient heart, and a kind home where he can continue to blossom.

If you think you might be the right match for this sweet little guy, please apply online to adopt Shaggy.

Shaggy is located in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to Dublin, OH on April 25th. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and his adoption fee is $450. The fee includes the transport cost.
