AUSTIN's Story

Austin is a dog that has taken a long ride on The Rescue Train. He was only seven months old when Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and he was a survivor. He had post-traumatic stress when he arrived at our rescue in Los Angeles and needed a lot of rehabilitation. We worked with dog trainers and our vet to get Austin to become whole again. All our hard work has paid off and Austin is ready to go home. He has always had a wonderful temperament and with a lot of focus on training has relaxed into the dog we always knew he could be.<br/><br/>Austin is a medium to high energy Labrador/Vizsla/Hound mix born in 2017. Weighing in at 55lbs. He is an exuberant pup, yet has sweetness to his soul. Austin can be goofy when he plays and it’s hilarious to watch him. He loves to run and throw his toys in the yard and for that reason he would not be a good apartment dog. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body but because of his strength and enthusiasm, we do not want to place him in a home with small dogs or small children. If he were to live with another dog, it should be a calm dog similar in size/age and they would need to be properly introduced. His current foster home also includes cats.<br/><br/>Our dog trainer thinks Austin is a fabulous dog. Whomever adopts Austin, needs to be committed to providing him with structure for the first couple of months so he can settle in. He would do best with an experienced large breed dog owner that knows structure. We have crate trained him so that will help this process for an adopter.<br/><br/>He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you can open your heart and home to Austin, please fill out our application. He is ready to WAG HIS WAY INTO YOUR HEART! Don't forget to check out his video on this page!<br/>---<br/>If you are interested in adopting Austin please fill out our adoption application on www.therescuetrain.org.

The Rescue Train's Adoption Policy
Ready To Adopt? Our adoption process is designed to help us set up safe and successful adoptions. The majority of the time we only do local adoptions in the City of Los Angeles. If you do not live in the LA City area please check with us before filling out an application by e-mailing us @ info@therescuetrain.org. We Take The Guess Work Out! We invest a lot of time, money and love into each animal in our care to help the adopter know what kind of pet they are adopting. Unless there is a medical reason all our animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and many of our dogs have had over $2000 of obedience training in our "Trained For Life" program. Step 1) View pets online: www.therescuetrain.org Step 2) Submit Application for the Pet of Your Choice Our adoption application is not meant to be an invasion of privacy but a tool to help us find out if one of our dogs or cats would fit happily into your home and lifestyle. We spend a lot of time and funds to get to know our pets and your application helps set both you and them up for a successful adoption. Step 3) Meet the Pet By appointment only. If your application is approved, you will be contacted to meet the pet at a convenient time. We ask that everyone who will be living with the pet attend the meeting. Also, for dogs if you have an existing dog we will introduce the dogs during the adoption process. Step 4) Home Check While a home visit is required prior to final placement, it does not guarantee adoption. We like to see where our pets will be living to make sure that they will be in a safe and secure environment. Often we can help with unforeseen health risks and help secure yards and fences that first time owners might miss. Step 5) Adoption Contract The adoption contract is a legal binding contract between the adopter and our organization. If, for any reason, the adoption of one of our pets DOES NOT work out, you MUST return the animal to The Rescue Train. Step 6) Tax Deductible Donation There is a minimum, tax deductible, non-refundable donation of $250.00 per dog, $500.00 for "Trained For Life Dogs", $125 per cat or $200 for a pair of cats. The donation helps us recoup a small fraction of our pet care costs. Step 7) Delivery of Your New Family Member We come with education and helpful hints to help things go smoothly and take the guess work out of what to expect when bringing your new pet home. Each pet has a team of people behind him/her and we are here to be a support system if you should need us.
