DESCRIPTION
Say hello to Austin! Born around April 15, 2026, Austin is a fluffy little bundle of joy who currently weighs about 5 pounds and is expected to be around 25 pounds when fully grown. Austin's mission in life is simple: find the best sticks, collect the finest pinecones, play tug-of-war with anyone willing to participate, and soak up as many cuddles as possible. This outgoing, happy-go-lucky puppy loves exploring the yard and investigating all the exciting things the world has to offer. When he's finished with his adventures, you'll often find him rolling over for belly rubs and showering his favorite people with puppy kisses. Austin is a social little guy who still loves wrestling and playing with his brother, but he's also learning important puppy skills. He's making great progress with crate training and is beginning to understand the basics of house trainingas much as any eight-week-old puppy can! He's also a fantastic passenger and stays calm and relaxed during car rides. While Austin enjoys toys and games, his favorite thing in the world is being held, told how handsome he is, and loved on by his people. He has a sweet, affectionate personality that will melt your heart in no time. Austin is current on his age-appropriate vaccines, and his future neuter and microchip are included with his adoption fee.
