(EDIT - 22 June 2008) - Augie has a new home! Thanks to everyone who showed an interest in Augie.)

-----

Augie came to us in mid March as a 4-week old pup. He's all grown up and ready to find a permanent home.

Augie's a challenging puppy. He's very affectionate with people he knows and trusts, but gets uncomfortable around strangers or in new situations. When he gets scared he can be very difficult to handle. On his return to the shelter he threatened and nipped some of the staff when they tried to get him out of his kennel.

With training and experience he's probably going to be fine, but this is not just a cute puppy that will fit into every household. These behavior issues have to be dealt with while he's still young.

Augie can be seen at the Champaign County Humane Society in Urbana, IL, or see their website at http:www.cuhumane.org
