About Augie

Meet Augie! Augie is a spirited 2-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix bursting with energy and personality. This playful guy loves adventures and has a genuine affection for his humans. He’s quite the learner, already mastering commands like sit, down, up, and come. Augie's happiest moments come from being outdoors, whether it's taking long walks, exploring new places, playing, or enjoying car rides with his head poking out the window. He has a keen nose and thrives in enrichment activities like snuffle mats and puzzle bowls. While Augie can coexist with other dogs, he may require slow introductions, especially with larger breeds. He gets along well with cats but has shown some food-related resource guarding, which can be managed with proper routines. For this reason, he would be best suited for a home without young children. Augie is eager for an active family ready to keep him engaged and teach him new tricks. If you’re looking for a curious companion ready for adventure, look no further! What are you waiting for?
