Pet of the Week: Gentle Auggie loves to go on walks
Auggie
Updated: May 24, 2012 3:03PM
Auggie is a dog who has lost two owners. Not on purpose – far from it! His first owner died and the family didn’t want Auggie. In fact, they left him at a kill shelter (not exactly honoring the deceased’s memory).
Just before his time was up, Auggie was adopted. Unfortunately, Auggie’s new owner was recently diagnosed with cancer and can’t care for him.
Poor Auggie needs a loving family who will provide a loving home for him in his final years of life.
He’s a pretty easy dog to care for because he gets along with other dogs. He loves to go on walks and is gentle and laid-back.
Auggie is a handsome tri-colored boy with sweet eyes and wiry (non-allergic) hair. Visit him at Save-A-Pet and see if he’ll fit in your family. Auggie deserves a final, permanent home – finally!
