AUGGIE

Auggie’s mom, Shari Yates-Morehead, says, “The black Lab with the bandana on is our rescue dog, Auggie. He came to us from the city pound in Falls City, Nebraska, in November of 2010. He was severely underweight, had been dumped twice at the pound, and had a terrible separation anxiety attachment disorder. Because of his behavioral issues, Auggie was placed on the euthanasia list, and he had only 12 hours left, so we saved him. We didn’t plan on keeping him and were hoping to help him find a forever home with a nice family. Well, we did find him his forever home with a nice family—we are foster failures! Auggie is now in great shape, even a little chubby, and loves to sleep in bed with his grandpa. He also fits in very well with our large herd of fur kids. This picture (we’ve named “Teamwork”) was taken last summer showing him and some of his siblings here on the Nemaha River in SE Nebraska. The yellow Lab, Odie, just passed away from cancer but lived a charmed life, as will Auggie for the rest of his days. He is such a beautiful boy.”
