Meet Augustus, a delightful 5-year-old Chihuahua mix residing in Tampa, FL. With a playful spirit and a heart full of affection, Augustus initially comes off as a bit shy, but once he feels comfortable, he's a loyal companion eager to be by your side. This little guy is quite intelligent and is making great strides as he learns basic commands and leash skills. Though he prefers the safety of his crate—where he keeps things tidy—he's also good with pee pads indoors. Augustus thrives in a calm environment that helps build his confidence, especially around older kids and small dogs. His playful antics, like chasing his tail and spurting out for a zoomie, are sure to keep you entertained. Augustus would flourish with a friendly dog sibling and a fenced yard to explore. If you're after a sweet, loyal buddy who will cuddle up to you and share a laugh with his quirky behaviors, Augustus might be the perfect addition to your home. His adoption fee is $500, which covers his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations. This fee also supports Mercy Full Project in their mission to rescue more animals in need.
