Augustus, our 3 year old 13 pound poodley mix, has convinced himself that balls are the best toys on the planet. He also seems to think they are extremely rare. Not the kind of guy to squander a good thing, if Augustus finds a ball, he will squirrel it away in a special hiding place. He has a hard time imagining that in his forever home the toys will be as plentiful as the belly scratches.

Augustus was found stray and the shelter reached out to us for help. He had a condition called "cherry-eye". This means the tear gland in both of his eyes had prolapsed; without surgery, he would have chronic dry-eye, irritation and pain. We took Augustus in to fix this condition (and got rid of his testicles while we were at it). He just passed his recheck with flying colors.

Augustus loves people and is quite friendly, especially once he gets to know someone. Augustus spends much of his day happily flopping near people to see if a belly rub is forthcoming. It's easy to give in to his demands as Augustus is outrageously soft and sweet. Augustus likes dogs and is playful with them, but we have not seen him with cats. We can do an introduction if needed.

Potty trained and quiet, Augustus has been a great guest. Augustus has come a long way on his crate training too. He doesn't want to be apart from his person for long, so Augustus does better if crated in a room with another dog friend. He would prefer an adopter who is home often. Augustus loves walks and adventures. He needs some help with leash training as he pulls and barks at things that excite him, but Augustus is smart and wants to please.

 

 Augustus is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Think you can provide enough balls and belly rubs to keep Augustus happy?
