About Austria
Austria is a 2-year-old male Terrier mix weighing about 20 lbs. He comes from a challenging background, having lived in a large hoarding situation with around 40 other dogs. Though he’s in good physical health, Austria had limited human interaction prior to rescue. This sweet boy needs a patient and understanding home. He’s still learning to trust people and can feel overwhelmed easily. It’s important to move at his pace to help him gain confidence. Gentle handling, consistency, and positive reinforcement will be key in helping him discover that the world can be safe and kind. Austria would thrive in a calm, predictable environment with adopters who understand shy or undersocialized dogs. He gets along with dogs but would do best in an adult-only home, as he does not seem suited for young children. Progress will take time, but the journey will be rewarding as you watch him grow. Think you can provide the loving home he needs?
