Meet Oogie Boogie, a 4-Year-Old Bearded Dragon Looking for His Forever Home.

Say hello to Oogie Boogie, a spirited 4-year-old Bearded Dragon who’s ready to find his perfect match. With his spiky beard, curious eyes, and laid-back personality, Oogie Boogie is the kind of pet that turns first-time visitors into lifelong reptile enthusiasts.

Watch his visit to the studio here. 

Bearded Dragons are known for being surprisingly social for reptiles, they’ll often perch on a shoulder, bask under a warm light while keeping you company, and even show a little personality of their own. Oogie Boogie is no exception. He’s a unique guy who’s looking for someone who appreciates what makes him different: a patient, attentive owner ready to give him the specialized care and environment he needs to thrive.

Adopting a Bearded Dragon isn’t quite like adopting a cat or dog, and that’s exactly the appeal for the right person. It takes a bit of extra knowledge, proper lighting, temperature gradients, and diet, but the payoff is a low-maintenance, long-lived companion with a surprising amount of character.

If you think you might be the special home Oogie Boogie has been waiting for, don’t wait too long, come meet him in person at the Manchester Animal Shelter. The staff there would love to introduce you and answer any questions about what it takes to give him a happy, healthy life.
