Austin
is one cute puppy! He's a Chiweenie (part Chihuahua, part
Dachshund); he's definitely got that handsome Dachsie look and
build, but he got his mother's ears, and they're all Chihuahua.
He was born into the CRT program with his brothers and his sister. He
is unique among his siblings, because he was born with a shorter
tail with a little crook in it, and it's just precious!
Austin gets along with everyone-men, women, kids, dogs-you name
it! If you can play with it or cuddle with it, Austin
considers it a friend. He loves the other dogs in his foster
home, and will play, wrestle, run, and explore until he's all worn
out. He would really love to have another friendly, playful
dog in his new home, but it you don't have one, don't worry-we
have plenty of great potential Austin-siblings for you to choose
from!
Austin
enjoys exploring, and will climb fences and gates to go on his
expeditions, but it's easy to keep him safe because he is crate
trained. When he is done exploring and playing, he loves
cuddling with his people. If he can curl up in your lap or
in your arms for a snuggle or a belly rub, he's a happy guy!
He really wants to be with his people and will follow you
anywhere, but he isn't overly needy. He's doing great with
his leash training and is just an all-around wonderful guy!
