🌟 Meet the delightful Augie! This sweet, snuggly boy was once a severely underweight stray, on the brink of losing everything he deserves. Picture this: a stressed little guy in a chaotic shelter, teetering on the edge and needing a hero. But guess what? Hope arrived in the form of an amazing foster—and Augie has transformed! He's put on a fabulous 10 pounds in just 3 weeks, and his fur is getting so shiny, it’s practically glowing! ✨ At just 33 pounds right now, Augie is gearing up to hit his target weight of 35-38 pounds, and he’s ready to find a forever home where he can truly thrive. This playful 1-year-old shepherd mix embodies the joy of companionship! He's fantastic with other dogs (fetch and chase are his faves!), and he absolutely LOVES his human pals. Just imagine the cuddles you could share! He yearns for a family that’s home most of the day to shower him with all the love and snuggles he desires. Augie's leash manners are impeccable—he walks beautifully and is fully potty trained! While he’s crate trained, he’d much rather be side by side with his humans. If a new dog or person walks by, Augie barks with excitement and, with a little nudge of guidance, he makes friends in the blink of an eye. How adorable is that? While he hasn't met any cats yet, we’re not quite sure how he’d react to them, so keep that in mind! 🐾 If you're in the DC/MD/NoVa area and searching for a loyal, loving companion, Augie is the pup for you! Don’t wait—apply through the Buddy App to adopt this sweet boy and give him the forever loving home he deserves! ❤️✨
