Meet Auggie, the most inspiring 9-week-old “Teddy Bear” puppy you’ll ever meet! Likely a mix with Shih Tzu in his lineage, this gorgeous fluff ball was born without eyes and abandoned by a puppy miller who didn’t see his potential. But Auggie is proving to the world that blindness doesn’t hold him back.
With an incredible sense of spatial awareness, Auggie navigates his environment as if he can see. He quickly maps out rooms and boundaries, confidently exploring and playing just like any other puppy. His playful, bouncy energy is infectious, and his zest for life lights up every room he enters. Auggie absolutely loves romping around with his foster siblings, showing that his disability doesn’t stop him from enjoying all the joys of puppyhood.
This snuggly little pup has a unique way of showing his love—he adores sleeping on or between your feet and will come find you wherever you go, just to be near you. Auggie would thrive in a home with a companion dog to help guide him. A confident, friendly dog can provide the support and partnership Auggie needs to navigate his world and continue to build his confidence.
While Auggie is still learning to feel comfortable being held for extended periods—likely because he can’t orient himself in that space—his sweet and loving personality shines through in every interaction. He’s curious, intelligent, and full of courage, making him a truly remarkable pup. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a heart of gold and an indomitable spirit, Auggie is ready to be your loyal and loving friend. This little pup is proof that even without sight, life can be just as bright and beautiful!
