Austin is making big strides in his Sacramento foster home, thriving on routine and structure. He walks well on a slip lead, is comfortable in his crate, and picks up training and manners quickly. When he gets excited, he still gets a little jumpy, but it’s all happy energy. He’d do best as the only dog soaking up all your attention, but he could also thrive with a calm, confident canine buddy who fits his energy. Austin’s a genuinely good dog with a huge heart. He’s ready to make someone’s life a lot brighter. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
