About Austin

Meet Austin! This charming little guy is a senior Chihuahua/Terrier mix, weighing in at just 5 pounds but packing over 75 pounds of personality. At over 10 years old, he’s a full-time cuddler and enjoys being your devoted little shadow. Austin loves to be held and carried, always wanting to be by your side. However, he isn’t housebroken yet and currently wears a diaper, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can help him with a consistent potty routine. He has a bit of sass and may grumble if uncomfortable, so it’s important to respect his boundaries. Austin can get along with gentle dog friends, but introductions are necessary. He’s not a fan of stairs, has a sensitive front right paw, and his eye infection is improving. With all his quirks, Austin is ready for a loving home that will embrace his imperfections and provide the comfortable retirement he deserves. He may not be perfect, but he can certainly be somebody's perfect companion. Start your journey and apply to adopt Austin today!
