Shaggydog is found in the snow with his brothers and sisters by Robb Stark and Jon Snow.[4] They are taken back to Winterfell, where Shaggydog is chosen by Rickon Stark. After Bran Stark's fall, Shaggydog often joins Summer and Grey Wind in howling beneath Bran's window.[5] During Tyrion Lannister's return to Winterfell, Rickon arrives with Summer, Grey Wind, and Shaggydog in tow.

Once Rickon discovers that Robb may be going off to war, he becomes angry and Shaggydog begins to take after his master, biting Gage and Mikken. Farlen chains Shaggydog up so he can bite no one else and Rickon becomes even more upset.[6] Just before news arrives of Lord Eddard Stark's death, Maester Luwin, Bran, and Osha descend to the crypts of Winterfell. There Shaggydog attacks Luwin, but the direwolf is stopped from doing more damage by the intervention of Summer. Afterwards they go to the maester's tower to wait for the news of Eddard's death.[7]
