Meet Auggie!
This handsome, 3-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd weighs 24 pounds and has a sweet, easy disposition. He's playful, affectionate, and has that lovely balance of fun energy and cuddle time that makes him such a special companion.
Auggie is medium energy and enjoys daily walks, playing fetch, and spending time with his people. When it's time to relax, he's perfectly happy snuggling up beside you! He also enjoys other dogs and has developed a wonderful relationship with the dog in his current home. He'd enjoy having a friendly canine companion but could also be happy as an only dog with someone who is home much of the day.
Auggie LOVES his toys!From stuffies with squeakers, balls made of all different materials and really anything he's given he will take them in and out of toy boxes and play happily on his own.
He's young, smart, and eager to learn, with many of the wonderful qualities people love about Mini Aussies.
Auggie already has a great foundation:
● Housebroken and crate trained ● Neutered and microchipped ● Completely vetted and current on immunizations ● Receives monthly Revolution prevention ● Enjoys other dogs
His ideal home?
We're looking for an active individual or couple who has time to include Auggie in their everyday lives. Someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule, a securely fenced yard, and preferably another friendly dog would be ideal.
Auggie is still building confidence around unfamiliar people and new situations. He may bark initially, but he is not aggressive and generally prefers to hang back and observe. With patient introductions, positive experiences, and continued socialization, we believe he'll continue to blossom. Someone familiar with the intelligence and sensitivity of the Mini Aussie breed will understand how much consistency, engagement, and encouragement can help.
Auggie was originally found as a stray and taken in by a wonderful couple who have provided excellent care and made sure he was fully vetted and transitioned into indoor family life. Changes in their work schedules mean they're now looking for a home that can provide the companionship and activity this young boy deserves.
If you're looking for a sweet, fun-loving Mini Aussie who enjoys playing outside just as much as cuddling on the couch, Auggie might be just the little guy you've been waiting for!

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.
We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.
