At around 12–14 years old and just 5 pounds, Shaggy may be tiny, but he has a huge heart. This sweet Yorkie was brought in from the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter, and though his life has had a few bumps, he’s now ready for the love and comfort every senior dog deserves. Despite his age, Shaggy’s spirit is gentle and kind — he simply wants a quiet place to rest, a warm lap to curl up in, and someone who will love him for who he is.
Why He’s the Ultimate Senior Sweetheart
🐾 Calm, quiet, and incredibly gentle — the perfect little companion
🛏️ Loves napping, sunbathing, and being near his people
💖 Well-behaved and does fine in or out of a kennel
🐶 Gets along well with other dogs
🧼 Already neutered, freshly groomed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines
🩺 Health note: Has a collapsing trachea that’s easily managed with medication
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, loving home to spend his golden years
✔️ An adopter who understands senior dogs and will handle him gently
✔️ A family committed to keeping him indoors, safe, and part of daily life
✔️ No small children or very active households
✔️ Someone who will use a harness only for walks (never a collar)
Shaggy’s days now revolve around soft naps, gentle snuggles, and quiet companionship. His adoption fee is waived — what he needs most is love. If you have room in your heart for a precious senior soul, Shaggy will repay you with endless devotion.
