This weekend I was able to take Austin out for a little break Friday and Saturday which he absolutely loved
There was a lot of sleeping involved
Friday I picked him up late afternoon he jumped into the boot no problem and laid down until we got home
He is a very good boy in the car no issues
It was warm that day so it took a while for him to calm down and adjust to the change in environment
One thing about Austin is he does not realise how big and heavy he is! In his head he’s just a baby and can be quite clingy so you have to be prepared but he does listen when told to get down and will sit and either wait for permission for another cuddle or lay down and go to sleep
We had no accidents in the house - he let me know every time he needed the toilet
He sat and waited until he was told he could eat his dinner and breakfast which was very good
Saturday morning we went to a secure field, again it was quite warm so not much running around
The rest of the day was very chilled with little walks around the block
Austin is reactive when he sees other dogs so he will need to be in only dog home
He loves people and children but I wouldn’t recommend him in a home with young children purely because of his size and reactive-ness to other dogs
Every person we met said what a beautiful boy he is and he really is so loyal and so loving and such a funny character
He needs a family with patience and the ability to work through his bad habits
He wants to please and given the right environment would make the best furry companion
I was very sad bringing him back to the kennel but look forward to our next cuddle

Austin the snuggle bug
Re: Austin AmBulldog DofB 09.10.22 RRemedies Centre
Austin and I have enjoyed a couple of walks this week and he’s been such a good boy. He’s gives you the best excitable greeting which makes it slightly harder to harness him up but only because he wants to give you so many kisses and cuddles! Out and about he walks perfectly on the lead. He’s not phased by traffic or people passing by. You only have to be on the watch for other moving creatures! Today, there was a deer up ahead that was leaving it pretty late to run away and once Austin caught a glimpse, he only wanted to get to the deer! Fortunately no deers were hurt! Austin and I had lots of cuddles in his kennel on return. He definitely doesn’t know his size as he decided he would sit in my lap! There’s a good chance he is the most affectionate dog at the rescue! The right home would be so lucky to have Austin!
