Story
He's honestly a man for all seasons, but August is coming in hot as he is fast, handsome and smart all in one package and that is summertime hot! August is a husky come shepherd mix who is an adult weighing about 42 lbs now full grown. August loves to run and is an active dude looking for active people and he ain't afraid of no adventure either. August does well with other dogs though prefers to be the big man in
his friend groups. This man is the total package of fun, love and brains and will prove a great companion for people who thrive on the unique characteristics of his breed mix. It might be winter that's a'coming, but August will bring in the warmth to these cold nights!
*Sleepover Feedback: "August was the sweetest, most wonderful dog for the weekend! We were so blessed to host him. He would take note of and react to other dogs on our walk - not at all aggressive or loud - seemed like he wanted to play! He’s a bit timid to get in the car initially, but once he’s in, he settles down quite easily. He is a fantastic sleeper. Overall, August is such a warm, loyal, and cuddly companion."
*Additional feedback: "August’ name sums him up so well; he is warm, energetic and his sunny disposition feels like a hug.August settled into our home very quickly, displaying manners while still letting his personality shine. He is full of energy and enjoyed our long walks and city exploration".
*Additional feedback: "August was a joy to have. He immediately became best buds with my shepherd mix, Daisy. They played hard and slept well the entire weekend. He settled extremely well around 10 both nights to go to bed. With that he did amazing in his crate both nights and only whined once he heard me get up in the morning. He did really well on the leash. He learned/is learning to not jump for treats and to sit, but he is an extremely fast learner and seems eager to impress. He didn't pull beyond the initial getting out the door on walks both with Daisy and by himself. He seemed to love car rides, and doesn't seem to lack any confidence. The only time he barked the entire weekend was when someone passed directly outside the glass door to my backyard."
Weekend Host Feedback: "August has been such a ray of sunshine this weekend. He went everywhere with me- we walked miles and miles and went out to eat on restaurant patios. He enjoyed the toys we got at the pet store and would make me laugh when he’d fall on me and roll over to get belly rubs or jump on his hind legs and twirl with excitement when we were walking outside. His handsome face and beautiful eyes would watch me everywhere I went, and he sometimes will cross his front paws when he rests- looking so classy! His snoring is adorable - he sleeps hard and let me sleep in each morning! To wake up to his sweet face and wagging tail just made my day. He is smart and eager to please- he is excellent at the sit command and food motivated. He looks forward to putting on his harness and getting in the car for adventures! He is very alert and curious about everything around him outside. It has been really hard for me to say goodbye to my new best friend after just a few days together. Whoever adopts August will be so loved and lucky! If you are looking for the perfect-sized intelligent, energetic, curious, loving, handsome and fun dog who lets you sleep in on the weekends- August is the one for you!"
Latest Weekend Host Feedback: "From day one, August was incredibly well behaved. He is fully house- and crate-trained and, during his entire stay with us, he had zero accidents. He walks very nicely on a leash and handled neighborhood walks like a pro. When passing other dogs, he would usually stop and watch calmly without engaging. A few times he did bark as we walked by, but overall he was very easy to manage and responsive. August was wonderful with our daughter (12 years old) and also did great with the neighbor children, ages 6–8. When more than one child was around, he did get a little excited at first, but he was easy to calm down and adjusted quickly. He clearly enjoys being around kids and thrives on their attention. One of August’s favorite things is cuddling. He loves to be close to his people and especially enjoyed sleeping at the foot of my daughter’s bed, where he settled in comfortably each night. He has such a gentle, loving presence and quickly felt like part of our family. If we didn't travel so much, he would be!
August is truly a special dog, and any family would be lucky to have him."
