SHAGGY - BEAGLE / TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Shaggy, one of the Scooby Doo pups! Background: Velma and her three puppies - Fred, Shaggy, and Scrappy Doo -were found abandoned on Kelly Mountain in Logan County, WV, by a group of hunters, far from any nearby homes. When the hunters stopped, the dogs immediately approached them, friendly and social, leading us to believe they once had a home and were intentionally left behind. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan stepped in and took the little family into her home until rescue help could be found. Because of her compassion and quick action, Velma and her pups are now safe and settling into their local foster homes. The puppies have been bathed, dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and received their first round of vaccinations. They are approximately 11 weeks old (12–14 lbs) and will be ready to go home soon. We don't know their breed. Their mom, Velma, is a tall, trim dog who looks to be a Feist/Terrier mix, and is about 28lbs. All three puppies are very friendly and enjoy being held. They’re active and playful but also sleep through the night without accidents - Good puppies! They’re already comfortable wearing collars, and their foster parents have begun leash introductions and short practice walks to build confidence. Shaggy (black collar) The largest puppy of the litter is very social and loves to play, but self-regulates more than his brothers. He will go to his bed to rest for a bit before going back to play. This sweet boy will do best in an active home with a pup playmate to keep him entertained. He's been around large dogs and young kids, too, and does well with all. If you have a puppy-friendly schedule and are prepared for potty training and basic obedience, apply today! Note: Shaggy is still too young to be neutered, but neutering at the appropriate age is required as part of his adoption terms. Proof of spay/neuter is required for all puppy adopters.
