Story
Personality:
A low maintenance super sweet giant with love for people who enjoys spending most of his day daydreaming on a couch! He is great with cats but prefers medium and larger dogs. He warms up quickly to new people and enjoys all the attention he can get! He does not even have a separation anxiety!
Education:
Auggie is house trained, crate trained, and is food motivated, which makes him easy to train.
Favorite Activities:
Enjoys walks, tug-of-war, fetch, getting pets, and chilling out on the couch.
Looking For:
Auggie is looking for a relatively mellow household with people who appreciate giant breeds and understand that a 118-pound dog comes with some serious horsepower! A home with older, dog-savvy children may be a possibility, but he is not suited for a home with toddlers or young children due to his size, strength, and unpredictable bursts of excitement. He would benefit from a secure yard or regular walks, continued training, and an adopter willing to be proactive about managing his leash reactivity towards smaller dogs.

BIO:
Meet Auggie 🐾
118 lbs of love, goofiness, and big-dog charm!
If you're a fan of big dogs with even bigger personalities, allow us to introduce you to Auggie! This handsome hunk is basically a giant couch potato with occasional bursts of goofy energy. He's a total sweetheart who loves his people, enjoys a good game of tug-of-war or fetch (although keep-away is apparently also part of the game), and is perfectly content spending most of his day lounging on the couch.
Don't let his size fool you into thinking he's a high-maintenance exercise partner. Auggie is relatively low energy and is usually happy with a nice walk, a little playtime, and a cozy place to crash. He's also very food motivated, which makes him eager to work for treats and a great candidate for continued training.
Auggie is crate trained, house trained, and has no known separation anxiety. He's lived with three cats and has done well with them, aside from the occasional playful chase. He's also enjoyed the company of other dogs, particularly those closer to his own size. He has had some reactivity toward certain smaller dogs in his neighborhood, particularly pugs and Frenchies, so we would want to be thoughtful about introductions and potential dog siblings.
Auggie can initially be a little cautious when meeting new people and may bark to announce their arrival, but he warms up quickly and is soon looking for pets and attention. He's a big guy with a lot of strength, so leash manners and continued training are important. He can become reactive around certain triggers, including dogs and activity around the home, and will need an adopter who understands management, consistency, and giving him the structure he needs to succeed.
His ideal home: Auggie is looking for a relatively mellow household with people who appreciate giant breeds and understand that a 118-pound dog comes with some serious horsepower! A home with older, dog-savvy children may be a possibility, but he is not suited for a home with toddlers or young children due to his size, strength, and unpredictable bursts of excitement. He would benefit from a secure yard or regular walks, continued training, and an adopter willing to be proactive about managing his leash reactivity.
A few more things to know:
- Food motivated and loves treats (and may occasionally try to help himself to yours).
- Enjoys walks, tug-of-war, fetch, and couch time.
- Crate trained and fully house trained.
- Has lived successfully with cats.
- Has enjoyed playing with other dogs, especially larger dogs.
- Needs continued work with reactivity and leash manners.

- Nail trims are NOT his favorite activity. Consider yourself warned!
Auggie is a genuinely lovable, goofy giant with so much to offer. He's not looking for a marathon-running partner or a jam-packed social calendar. He just wants a family who understands him, gives him some guidance, and saves him a spot on the couch. If you've got room in your home (and your heart) for a whole lot of dog, Auggie might just be your guy!
