Not at all shaggy

Shorthaired describes an animal, typically a cat or dog, with a coat of short fur: a shorthaired tabby, German shorthaired pointer.

The term distinguishes breeds or individuals from their longhaired counterparts.

Applied to people, it simply means having short hair, though this use is less common.
