Dougie🐾🏡

It is with a heavy heart to announce that Dougie has passed. My heart is broken and im in tear’s. He means so much and is a big reason why I started this rescue.

Those who know about this case that I fought 6 years ago regarding a fosters roommate shooting a foster dog named Blu. Dougie was the roommate’s dog who got out safely and was adopted into a wonderful home with an amazing family. I fought this case for a year and won. So many great memories with this boy.

Love and prayers are with the family during this time. A huge thank you for loving and protecting Dougie throughout the case and years after.

AUGGIE 🐾

Auggie is a serious yet fun guy who may have a small body but a bigger dog’s personality. He loves people but he does not love being treated like a doll or a small child. He enjoys cuddling up but needs his space and autonomy respected like any other individual. Auggie makes a great friend and partner and bonds quickly to his family. He is easy to live with and behaves well when going places with you.

Auggie is fine with dogs big and small and probably cats, too. Though, sometimes he gets a little grumpy about his space when he is on the couch or bed which has led to his nickname Emperor Augustus. 🙂

He is good on leash and likes car rides. He is housetrained. He is fine home alone.

Auggie is about 2 1/2 years old. He currently weighs 15 lbs but on a diet to lose one or two. He is probably a shih tzu mix.

If interested in Auggie, please fill out our pre-adoption form:
