AUSTIN - In Foster Home Dachshund Mix Marietta, GA

Please note - Austin is in a foster home while going through heartworm treatment. His foster family will likely be adopting him after his treatment is complete.

This cutie is Austin! He arrived at the shelter as a lost boy on 10/25, and sadly, no one has come to reclaim him. He sure is adorable, and somebody will be lucky to adopt him! The volunteers describe Austin as very sweet and gentle. He is quiet in his kennel, and he sits very nicely when asked. Austin seems a little sad and confused in the shelter. Can you help turn his frown upside down? He'd sure love to meet you! If he sounds like a good fit for you, please make an appointment today.

Austin is approximately 1 year old, and he weighs 21 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines, and neutered; he will be microchipped when adopted. Sadly, he has tested positive for heartworms but with treatment, he should be good as new in no time. Austin is waiting in run 317; his ID # is 650291.
