Meet Augusta! Augusta is a striking almost five-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix from Indianapolis, IN, whose intelligence and devotion make her an extraordinary companion for the right person. Weighing 65 pounds, she is strong, sturdy, and full of personality. With her beautiful tricolor coat and deep brown eyes, Augusta is a head-turner and a loyal companion ready for a fresh start. Augusta is a recent training graduate who has worked hard on her leash manners, impulse control, and focus. She walks beautifully on a leash alongside her person and has embraced crate training, happily settling into her cozy retreat when asked. She thrives on consistency and enjoys focusing on her handler, making her an excellent partner for continued positive reinforcement training. Her love for people shines in her constant desire for snuggles and companionship. She is incredibly smart and food-motivated, quickly picking up on cues when treats are involved. While she has made great strides in training, she still benefits from a structured home where her boundaries are respected. She has a history of being defensive when she feels uncertain, including one incident where she bit a neighbor on the ankle. Because of this, she would do best with an experienced pet guardian who understands how to manage her interactions and provide ongoing structure. Augusta thrives with an active lifestyle and would do well in a home where she can enjoy physical exercise and mental enrichment. She is best suited as the only pet in an adult-only home with a guardian who has experience handling high-energy dogs and is committed to maintaining her progress. With patience, training, and a consistent routine, Augusta has the potential to settle beautifully into a home where she feels safe and understood. To ensure a successful transition, we offer a free consultation with a canine behaviorist to help Augusta continue her progress in her new home. Could you be the experienced family Augusta needs? If you're interested in providing Augusta with a loving home, please email [email protected] for more information on adopting her! Please note that Augusta will remain with her current family until a suitable new home is found for her. Also, Augusta is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!
