Description:
AUSTIN SHORTLY WILL BE GOING INTO A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT SITUATION. WE WILL BE GIVING HIM AND HIS FOSTER FAMILY SOME TIME TO SEE IF HE IS A GOOD FIT WITH THE SENIOR DOG IN THE HOME. WE, THEREFORE, WILL NOT BE PROCESSING ANY APPLICATIONS FOR HIM AT THIS TIME.Meet Austin! Our best assessment (NO GUARANTEE) is that Austin is a mini Aussie mix & about 8 months old. He currently weighs around 25 lbs.Austin was a pulled from a breeder/hoarder situation. Held in a pen with all of his siblings, he came to the fence and gently kissed the coordinator's hand. Well, she went to walk away, and he held her hand in his little paws. That was all it took, and he became one if the most special little boys in our rescue. From transporting to multiple stops to settling in and a bath, he was nothing but sweet - always compliant and grateful. He plays nicely with his canine foster sibling and chases her in the yard. When play is done, there are always snuggles to be had. Toys and balls are new to him and he is no retriever, but he sure does love to play with them. While human affection is new to him too, he really wants to experience it. He becomes more comfortable with it every day. If you are looking for that love story, please fill out the application for Austin. He is neutered, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea preventative, and can be microchipped! ____________________________________________________________________**If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.
