Story
Auggie is a nice dog, but he does not realize how big he is. When the kids are over he runs to get out the door or anywhere and knocks them down he even pushes us out the way. The little dogs bark at him sometimes he pushes them with his head again doesn’t realize how big he is and they slam against the wall. Other than that he is a good dog he just sits there or wants to play fetch, he loves the water but gets ear infections easily. Auggie is a good dog we just can’t take care of him like we can.

**COURTESY POST***** PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A COURTESY POST AND SPARTY IS NOT AT THE SHELTER. For more information on Sparty please contact Angelica at acmart@ucdavis.edu ***   Sparty is a German shepherd mix and about 5yrs old. He is super smart (can learn new tricks in 15 min), fixed, house-trained and a big love bug. No health issues that I know of. He isn’t high energy or require hours of exercise but definitely loves to be outdoors and has gone on 5 mile runs with me without any problems. He’s usually content lounging by his person’s feet and getting pets though. He is good with cats and my sister’s chihuahua- I’m sure he would be fine with other dogs after a slow introduction too. He’s been around kids and does better with older kids since they would give him space. He has a little anxiety when left on his own and has bit into cardboard boxes but he does fine being alone for hours if he’s left with a chew toy or something else to distract him   *** PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A COURTESY POST AND SPARTY IS NOT AT THE SHELTER.
