Austin
Breed: Lurcher (Brindle) (Large)
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
Austin is a beautiful two-year-old Lurcher with a gentle soul and so much love to give. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who may be a little timid when he first meets new people, but it quickly becomes clear that he truly wants to be loved and part of someone’s life.
On walks, Austin is a pleasure to have by your side and generally walks nicely on the lead. However, he can be a little sensitive to sudden or unexpected noises, which can startle him. With a calm, patient owner to reassure him, he continues to gain confidence and enjoy his outings.
Austin can also be a little unsure around other dogs and strangers at the moment. He tends to prefer keeping his distance and quietly watching them pass by rather than interacting. Because of this, he’ll need a patient and understanding owner who is willing to give him the time and space he needs to build trust and develop his confidence at his own pace.
Due to his gentle and slightly timid nature, we believe Austin would thrive best in a calm, adult-only home. Dog-savvy teenage children may be considered following a successful introduction. Ideally, Austin would also be the only dog in the home while he continues to grow in confidence and settle into family life.
With love, patience, and kindness, Austin has the potential to blossom into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. Once he feels safe and secure, his affectionate personality really shines through. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving dog who just needs a little time and understanding to truly flourish, Austin could be the perfect addition to your home
