About Augustus

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Sable
Augustus is a large male German Shepherd estimated between 2 - 3 years of age. Augustus entered 'the system' as a stray and we unfortunately do not know his history. Augustus has spent a couple months with other organizations before making his way to us to find a home that understands big, rowdy Shepherd <> Augustus is summed up well as an unruly teenager who has had little guidance in his life. Augustus generally enjoys meeting new people and has little understanding of his size. Augustus can be mouthy and enjoys jumping on people when excited. Although Augustus tends to be okay meeting new volunteers he has shown himself to be weary during some encounters while out and can be a vocal, standoffish guy if he isn't sure about you. It is clear that Augustus will require more socialization and clear boundaries around how to meet new people and navigate new situations.  Augustus has been a wonderful boy with all of the volunteers he has met in and out of his foster home. He loves to get scratches and be loved on but most of all loves to romp and roughhouse. Augustus is a high energy boy but is learning to appreciate his R&R time and understand that play isn't a 24 hour activity. Augustus would be a great hiking companion as he enjoys exploring new places and rides well in the car. Augustus has not been around children at this time and while we don't think he would be aggressive his size and lack of manners makes him a poor match for a home with young children.   <>   Augustus does well with the other medium and large sized dogs in his foster home. He is pretty no-nonsense with other dogs and likes to keep to himself if the play groups get too rowdy. Augustus has learned how to navigate a variety of different dog personalities from other young dogs to grumpy seniors. He does a great job tolerating, and entertaining, the younger dogs that want to play and chilling with the older dogs that just want to hang out. Augustus seems to have a good handle on dog social cues and although he doesn't seem to have a strong attachment to being around other dogs would do fine living with other dogs. Augustus is not recommended for a home with cats, small dogs, or other small animals.  <>   Augustus is searching for an active home that will provide the structure and guidance a young, rowdy German Shepherd requires to excel. If you're the home for him please email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQs
