About Auggie

Meet Auggie! This handsome, 3-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd has a sweet and easygoing demeanor. He weighs 24 pounds and strikes a wonderful balance between playful energy and cuddle time, making him the ideal companion for happy moments. Auggie enjoys daily walks and loves to play fetch, but he’s equally content snuggling up beside you after fun activities. Auggie is medium energy and thrives with lots of interaction. He gets along well with other dogs and has built a great bond with the dog in his current home. While he would love a friendly canine companion, he can also flourish as the sole dog in a home where someone is around most of the day. This special boy adores his toys, often taking them out of the toy box and entertaining himself. With a solid foundation already in place—he's housebroken, crate trained, neutered, and current on vaccinations—Auggie is ready for his forever home. His perfect match would be an active individual or couple with a flexible schedule and a securely fenced yard. He appreciates the company of another friendly dog but is still learning about new people and situations. With patience and continued socialization, he will grow even more confident. Understanding the unique needs of the Mini Aussie breed will be a plus for his new family. Auggie was rescued after being found as a stray, and he's now ready to be the loving companion you’ve been searching for. If you're interested in welcoming this sweet, fun-loving Mini Aussie into your life, please complete the adoption application on their website. This could be the start of something paw-some.
