Auggie’s story has had more chapters than it should. This 4-year, 3-month-old Shepherd mix (with possible Shar-Pei, Boerboel, or Mastiff in the mix) has been surrendered three times in his life—and none of it seems to be his fault. What is clear is that through every twist, Auggie has stayed exactly who he is: sweet, affectionate, and full of love to give.
Now, he’s hoping the next stop is finally his last—home.
With his rich red coat, black muzzle, and gentle brown eyes, Auggie doesn’t just look like a teddy bear… he acts like one too.
