** Needs Companion dog his size in home & fenced yard **

 

Meet Sweet Auggie!   A 6-year-old, 9 lb Maltese with a gentle soul, looking for a patient and understanding forever home.

 

He Requires another dog in the home — ideally a playful female small dog his size  .   He loves the female in his foster home and grooms her every day. SEE VIDEO BELOW.

 

To help him learn human contact, new family will take time to getting Auggie use to people and have the patience to continue the training for human touch. 

 

He currently lays in the room with foster parents and will come into the kitchen to get treats. HE IS A TREAT LOVER!!! He does not take treats from your hand, so we drop on floor for him to pick up.

 

Auggie has learned to go outside and come back inside when using commands, but   will still use potty pads occasionally inside . Adopter will continue practicing going outside teaching recall for coming back inside. 

 

He does not walk on a leash yet but over time, adopter can help him understand leash training.  

 

We believe that in a calm , patient home with a confident dog sibling, Auggie will keep blossoming .  

 

He’s trying so hard to understand love and human touch. Dogs that are like him often work the hardest to become part of the pack.

With time, he could surprise you.
