About Augie

Needs �'ۢ Active Experienced Home. Augie is an incredibly smart, active, and loyal 2.5 year old, 40 pound Australian Cattle Dog mix. Augie needs daily mental and physical enrichment and activity, without this he will try to outsmart his owner and get what he wants! Although he has lots of energy, he is always ready to snuggle. He will curl up in your lap or next to you on the couch or bed. He doesn't have any desire to escape (house or yard), but he will chase wild animals, and the occasional truck or school bus. Augie is currently in weekly agility lessons, which he absolutely loves. We would hope he can continue his agility or another dog sport (such as rally, disc/frisbee, or flyball). When he is 'in the zone' he has the ability to do just about anything. He is learning some fun tricks- at the moment working on 'Sit Pretty' and 'Spin', as well as having mastered basic commands: Sit, Down, Paw, Wait, and Leave It. He has a selective recall- he knows what the words come and here mean, but if he isn't paying attention he won't always listen right away. Augie is a bit dog/fear reactive meaning he can act out in situations where he is scared or when meeting new dogs. He has successfully met and played with several dogs, he just must be introduced slowly and properly. He can be afraid of new people but with treats and a calm and quiet introduction he easily makes friends with all people. Augie would love a home with a playful and friendly dog sibling, but he would be just fine as a solo dog! Augie's ideal match would be dog savvy and experienced with reactive dogs. He loves to go on runs so an active home is a must. He loves to shop and hike- pet friendly locations only! A fenced yard would be great, but he will be okay with leashed walks and playtime. Augie is house trained, crate trained, excellent on leash, and ready to find an experienced forever home who will enjoy going on Augie doggie adventures with him! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org)
