About August

August, better known as Auggie, is all personality—a truly original character who’s always ready for a little mischief if snacks are involved. He’ll be shy when you first meet him, but tempt him with food and he’ll bond with you quickly. When the weather cools off, he loves to play fetch and looks downright joyful as he rolls around with his favorite toys. There’s something uniquely funny about the way he dashes around like a prancing deer. Once August feels at home, he happily leans into cuddles, especially if you know how to scratch his back just right. If you like adventures, August is right there with you—he’s a seasoned pro on walks and car rides, and he keeps his cool even surrounded by barking dogs or wildlife. He already knows several commands and is picking up on leash walking like it’s second nature. August may bark in his kennel, but outside, he trades the noise for puppy eyes and those endearing forehead wrinkles that make it hard not to fall for him. Ready to see if August is your match?
