about austin

Austin is an independent little guy with a love for life's simple pleasures. This clever boy enjoys playing ball, exploring the grass during leisurely walks, and showing off his problem-solving skills with food puzzles. Austin's secret to winning hearts? He absolutely melts for butt scratches and will be your devoted companion if you master this art and treats of course!

Austin comes from a difficult past where his boundaries weren't respected, which has made him protective of his space and resources. While he can bite when feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable, he's been making remarkable progress in a supportive environment. Austin needs a patient experianced adopter who understands that building trust takes time and is committed to giving him the quiet space and safe havens he needs to thrive.

This sensitive boy flourishes in calm, predictable environments and would do best in an adults-only household without other dogs, as he finds their presence overwhelming. Austin struggles with change, so his ideal adopter would be someone willing to visit him regularly before adoption and participate in home visits to create a personalized training plan for a smooth transition.

Austin is already muzzle trained for veterinary visits and grooming, showing his willingness to work with his people when approached thoughtfully. While he requires patience, dedication, and understanding, Austin rewards those who invest in him with amazing progress and deep loyalty. He's looking for someone who sees past his challenges to the wonderful companion he becomes when he feels secure and loved.
