August is a striking two-year-old, likely a pointer or dalmatian mix, sporting a memorable set of spots. The shelter originally labeled him a shepherd mix, but anyone can see he's got distinct Dalmatian vibes. He comes with a gentle, friendly energy and some initial shyness around new people, typical for many rescue dogs, but warms up noticeably once trust is built. Weighing around 65 lbs, August falls on the larger side and gets along very well with other dogs—he shares a kennel right now with Savannah, and they're a nonstop play duo. August is working on his leash manners and needs a bit more guidance and consistency with his training. Given his size and temperament, he'll do best with experienced dog owners in homes without young kids. August is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to settle in with his new family as soon as the fit feels right. Your next loyal buddy might just be waiting for you in Newport Beach, CA.
