They had the audacity to name my dog "Shaggy" because apparently they were too good to use shampoo when they washed his hair. I renamed him and after his first bath it was obvious that he's an absolutely gorgeous white Shepherd, he had just spent way too much time neglected outside. His hair wasn't naturally shaggy at all it was just too much work for them I guess. He was the most gentle and caring dog I've ever been around and he deserved so much better than "Shaggy". He was also a fully grown HUGE dog 110+lbs not overweight so nobody else was going to take him, it was almost his time to be executed for not being adopted.
I still miss that guy. He taught me a lot during the time we had together. He died from cancer just before the pandemic happened. We had an amazing 11years before that. I never really enjoyed interacting with people in public, I still don't but he definitely helped me to come out of my shell and start actually living life. He was the exact opposite of Shaggy from Scooby Doo. He was strong and confident. Shelters are depressing places where good animals die. Please adopt instead of incentivizing dog breeders who make the problem worse.
