Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Augustus is a 10 month old 7 lb. long haired Chihuahua. Who could resist that face! Augustus came from a situation where the owner had too many dogs to care for. Because of that Augustus hasn’t been socialized very well. He is a bit apprehensive of other dogs, but does well with them after given time to warm up. He loves human attention and likes to follow his people around.
He seems to be potty trained and does great in a kennel. We are looking for a home without young children because he is such a little boy.
Augustus is still new to CHEW. We will update this posting as we learn more about him.
(An adoption donation of $300 is required.) If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out the CHEW Adoption Application you can find on our website: chewdogrescue.org/Forms.html If you have previously submitted an application form, there is no need to re-apply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks.
