About August

August is a 7-year-old Velcro dog with a nurturing, affectionate nature and devotion that’s hard to match. She thrives next to her person and excels with commands like sit, stay, and place. At dinner, August trots right to her kennel in hopes of some shredded chicken—her top pick by far. She’s playful and athletic, never passing up a good game of fetch, a flirt pole chase, or a bubble session. Her favorite place is curled up in bed with her human. Fiercely loyal and protective, August needs to be your one and only pet. She has a strong prey drive, so a home with other dogs or small animals isn’t an option. August enjoys children, but her protective instincts mean she’s best in a household without young kids around. Despite mild arthritis in her spine, she remains full of energy and joy. She’ll arrive with her heavy-duty crate, automatic ball thrower, and flirt pole—completely ready for her next adventure. Fun fact: born June 3, August is a Gemini, known for their sharp minds and playful spirits. Give her the forever home she’s hoping for. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
