About this Dog
LEARNING TO TRUST: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 43 lbs. Hi, my name is Austin! I was at animal control when Mostly Mutts came for me. I’m very grateful, but I was also quite scared and shut down. The volunteers and trainers are helping me get ready for my new family by being patient with me while I gain confidence to be a great companion. Are you looking for a sweet boy who needs the love and patience of an amazing family to help me open up in my new home? If that sounds like you, read on and let’s see if we’re a match! I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I’m available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I came in with another scared dog named Dylan and we do love each other a lot! I am the follower and Dylan the leader with a little more confidence than me. It’s not required that we’re adopted together, but if we can be, I’d be so happy! If we’re not adopted together, I should have another dog-friendly dog in my new home to continue learning from. I’m learning to play with other dogs outside of the shelter environment, it will just take a little time to figure it out. So, if you have a dog that you think may be a fit for me, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I met nice kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and was nervous but interested and didn’t show any aggression. I think I would likely do best living with older, mature kids who have calm natures such as 15+ years old. Let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a nice boy who came in very scared and insecure. I definitely need extra time to settle in at the shelter as well as the love and patience from the shelter volunteers and trainers who are working to help me build confidence. They are slowly seeing me start to smile and I’ll let them give me some love, but I do still try to find a way out. A dog savvy family that understands I didn’t have a normal dog’s upbringing and will need lots of time to adjust in my new home would be a great fit for me. I just know that the heart-shaped spot on my left hip is a sign that there is a loving nature ready to be revealed – with patience and kindness. No apartment/condo type home please as that would just be too much commotion for me. / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands as well as how to utilize proper door etiquette. I’m working with a trainer in the prison/foster training program to become more comfortable with normal dog things. I am a puller on my leash and deemed a flight risk, so only an experienced dog walker should walk me for now. Also, a secure fenced yard will be best. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I've only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule, so hopefully I’ll do well in my new home on a good schedule. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Right now, the volunteers are working to learn what things I like and what makes me nervous or unsure. I will need a patient and loving owner who will open their heart and give me time to adjust and relax in my home. Then, I will surely open my heart to you. / I don’t like to be rushed or forced into new situations too fast. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m on inexpensive anxiety medications to help me with the stress I’m feeling. I am looking for a home with a dog savvy person who will use patience and love to help me adjust in my new home. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Adopt Austin and Receive Austin's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Austin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Austin's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Austin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Austin's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Austin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Austin’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Austin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Austin’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
