This adorable little boy was picked up as a stray in Kentucky, so we know absolutely nothing about his past. But we've learned a lot about him while he has been in our care!
He is very affectionate and loves to be with his human(s) at all times.
He's about 8 years old, and weighs 23#. We think he prefers to be the only dog in the home. Initially we thought he would probably enjoy having a canine friend to play with (one who will likely allow him to be alpha), but now we think he would prefer to be an 'only child'.
He's curious about cats, but hasn't bothered the cats in his foster home.
Auggie does great on a leash, he's good in the car, house trained and will let you know when he has to go outside and potty.
He easily uses doggie stairs to get up into bed, and he's a great couch companion.
Like many Eskies, he is vocal and slightly demanding at times when he wants something.
He loves his food, and even loves frozen green beans as a treat! He's currently on a prescription canned food to keep crystals from forming in his urine, which he loves. It's readily available at Chewy and in pet stores. (he has a written script for the food, which we will give to adopter).
He does best on soft and canned foods, due to the fact that he had severe periodontal disease when we got him. He had multiple cracked, broken, and missing teeth, and the vet gave him a 4/4 score for his dental condition. We usually see that when dogs have spent a lot of time chewing on kennel bars, or trying to eat rocks. When Auggie had his dental done, most of his teeth were removed, and we're sure he's feeling so much better now because of that.
