My name is Austin!

AUSTIN NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Austin is Looking For:   His forever family! Look at his great markings and coloring. Those speckles are likely from heeler heritage - so his coat likely covers a high-octane, high-energy body! Heelers can run all day. Austin, as a young dog, might need a lot of  just that - activity. Mere daily walks and/or time in the yard won't be enough. Austin is looking for someone who's up for multiple long walks a day, daily trips to parks or other places where he can run, and lots of mental stimulation / enrichment. He would love an adopter who loves being active as much as he does and wants a buddy for fun adventures.

And he wants cuddles too! Most of all, he wants to know he's safe and loved, where he belongs, and upon whom to bestow all his adoring gazes and happy tail wags. What do you say? Is Austin the one you see running by your side?

What My Foster Says About Me:  Austin is a very sweet boy. He’s very timid and unsure of new people and places but he’s showing signs that he’s learning to trust people again. He likes to know where you are around the house but isn’t super affectionate [so far]…. He does get along well with our household dogs.  

7 Nov Foster update:   While he is still timid, he has become much more affectionate. He loves couch cuddles and will walk up to you and ask for pets! Sometimes he still sleeps under the bed but he has become much more interested in sleeping IN it!

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
