Meet Auggie, your future furry sidekick! This sweet, young Aussie-Collie mix is about 2.5 to 3 years old and ready to leave his shelter days behind. After spending time in a rural shelter, Auggie is entering a comfortable environment where he can relax and truly experience the joys of home life. Auggie loves being around water; he enjoys splashing in a baby pool and would thrive on adventures by lakes or creeks. He’s already learning basic commands and is both housebroken and crate trained, giving his new family an excellent jumpstart. Although he can be a little shy around strangers, especially men, his affectionate nature shines through once he feels comfortable. Gentle attention is all it takes for him to warm up. Auggie would thrive in a calm and moderately active home without young children, where he can build his confidence at his own pace. He gets along well with other dogs, and a friendly female dog could help him feel secure and joyful in his new surroundings. Auggie may be a bit hesitant initially, but with a little patience and a loving home, he will blossom into a devoted companion. Are you ready to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves? Apply to meet Auggie and start your journey together!
