Story
Name: Shaggy
Age: Adult
Weight: 20lbs
Breed: Double Merle Mini Aussie Doodle
Good with kids/cats/dogs: All!
House trained: Almost!
Crate trainer: Does not enjoy but will settle
Special needs: Deaf, some vision impairment (more noticeable at night)
Where foster is located: Waukesha area
Shaggy is a sweet, friendly Mini Aussie Doodle. He is dog, cat and kid friendly and looking to be a cherished member of the family. He enjoys cuddling up and staying close to his foster family (humans and canines) and is looking for a home that wants a cuddler/lap dog.
While in great overall health, Shaggy is deaf and also faces some vision impairment (more noticeable at night), so a yard, while not required, may be beneficial. If his future home doesn’t have a fenced yard, he will need someone who is happy to take him on walks to exercise him (luckily he walks well on a leash). Despite being deaf, Shaggy is curious and alert and working on learning hand signs. This brave, confident boy LOVES running and playing chase with other dogs in his fenced in yard at his foster home. He is a friendly and happy pup!
Shaggy’s forever family has to be patient and understanding of his challenges as he learns the routines of a new environment. He loves to be near his people and may initially be vocal when left alone (Kongs/distractions are helpful). This sweet pup is sure to make a lucky family so happy, could he be the pup you are looking for?
