About Auggie

Meet Auggie, a 6-year-old Labrador mix currently at Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center. He's eager to showcase all he's learned in the Confidence College program, designed to help him build bravery in new situations. While he might need some extra time to settle into a new home, his potential for love and companionship is immense. Auggie’s past in a hoarding situation has made him a little cautious around new people and loud noises. However, once he warms up, he thrives on affection, enjoys playful moments, and will quickly become a treasured member of your family. He loves toys of all kinds, whether they're squeaky, bouncy, or rope toys. It's important to note that Auggie prefers to be the only dog in his new home. He does well around kids aged six and older, but an initial meeting with any younger children is a must because of his nervousness. Wayside suggests a home that isn’t an apartment, as he enjoys using his voice when excited. Auggie is also looking for a family that will use a martingale collar for his safety. If you're patient and willing to offer him the time he needs to adjust, you’ll find a loyal, playful companion in Auggie. Get ready to experience the joy he can bring; he can't wait to build that special bond with you! Your new best friend is just one click away.
