Meet Austin – A Husky-Terrier Mix with spirit, so handsome and a lot of love to give!
Austin means "great" or "magnificent" and that is exactly what he intends to be. Austin is approaching his 1st birthday and has been in rescue and with his foster for going on 10 months!!!!!! I know we are just as shocked as you are. His foster would like to share a little about him:
Austin absolutely adores kids, you can often find him cuddled up napping with the children in his foster home. He is so snuggly. Austin gets excited and also a little nervous on car rides but does very well and loves the adventure. Want to get that puppy energy out of Austin? Just take him outside and throw him a ball he will run and chase it over and over. Before you know it he's ready for a nap and so are you! As much as Austin loves his people he also loves his canine friends too! Austin needs another dog in his furever home or even a pack of dogs and he's ok with being the submissive, loving, fun and goofy one. Austin is food motivated which is good because it can help with continuing his training because he'll do anything for a scooby snack! He also loves to just lay around and chew on a good ole bone. Hide your shoes though because he has been known to try and steal them, but really he's just teaching us humans manners to pick up after ourselves. Austin is fully potty trained in his foster home. He has even trained his Foster mom that when he hits the door knob she has to get up to let him outside. Austin is not a fan of crates but is working on learning they ae ok and can keep him safe and be his quiet own place. You will never have to talk to yourself again if you bring Austin home because he’s a vocal boy who loves to "talk" when he’s excited, and he uses that big personality to charm everyone he meets. Whether it’s playing with toys or cuddling up after a long walk, Austin brings joy and energy to every room. Please know with many rescue dogs it does take time especially for one who has been in foster for this long. Austin will need a patient family to help him through the transition and understand that the anxiety will pass and he will become your best friend!
