Auggie is a sweet, young Aussie-Collie mix, approximately 2½–3 years old, who is ready to leave his shelter days behind and find the forever family who will love him, spoil him, and show him just how wonderful life can be! Auggie spent the past 2–3 weeks in a rural shelter, and DASH is bringing him into a much more comfortable environment where he can decompress, relax, and discover all the good things about being part of a home. We’re talking air conditioning, comfy sofas, cozy beds, dog beds, gentle attention, and lots of loving! And one thing we already know about Auggie: this boy is a WATER BUG! He absolutely loves lying in and splashing around in the outdoor baby pool. We have a feeling he’d be just as happy running through sprinklers, playing in a swimming pool, or accompanying his people on adventures to a lake or creek. Based on his size, build, and love of water, we’re pretty sure he’s going to be a very enthusiastic outdoor-water companion! Auggie is a smart boy who is already learning what’s expected of him. He has learned to walk nicely on a leash, sit, and follow simple commands. He is also housebroken and crate trained, which gives his new family a wonderful head start. Like many herding dogs, Auggie can be a little shy when meeting new people, particularly men. But once he realizes someone is kind and trustworthy, he warms up quickly. He responds beautifully to gentle attention and absolutely loves being scratched behind his ears and along his back. â¤ï¸ The more love Auggie receives, the more his confidence grows. We’re looking for a calm, moderately active home with no children under 12 where Auggie can continue building his confidence at his own pace. He loves other dogs, and a confident, friendly female dog could be a wonderful companion for him — someone who can help show him that his new home is a safe and happy place. Auggie could also be the perfect best buddy, wingman, copilot, or four-legged sidekick for someone looking for a loyal companion to share life’s adventures with. He’s affectionate, gentle, smart, and still discovering what indoor life and being close to people are all about. He may be a little shy at first, but underneath that initial hesitation is a sweet boy who is ready to blossom. Give Auggie a little patience, a lot of love, and a safe place to call home, and we have a feeling he’ll give you ten times the love right back. Auggie is ready for his forever family. Could that be you?
