“Auggie” Forever Home on the Cape

“Auggie”  Formally~Vouni, is a 3 year old Beagle/Pointer.  We were all so fortunate to have Auggie in our lives while at a Foster home in Marion. Auggie was born in Greece.  He was homeless and lived at a resort with other four legged friends his first year of life.  When the resort closed for the season, Auggie was tied to a post in the hopes that someone would come along and take him home.  A good Samaritan found Auggie and brought him to a Rescue in NYC.  From there, he went to stay with a foster family in Marion, MA. He had been in the Foster home for two years.  I received a call from the NYC Rescue wanting to know if I would go over and do some general training. I explained that we are not trainers, but we are pet sitters. Auggie’s sponsor said,  “If someone could just go over for an hour a day and walk him and show him some general commands, that would really help the foster family.”  So, Kimmi, with the assistance of Beth, was assigned to work with Auggie. He was extremely cooperative. He came a long way in a very short time.  In the meantime, I was on the lookout for his Forever Home. I happened to be at my Physical Therapists office and he mentioned that his family was looking for a dog.  Well, that was all I needed to hear.  I immediately said, “Do I have the dog for you!”  Auggie has been with the family for about a year!  It was a match made in Heaven. They are a very active family with 2 teenagers, Kate & Connor.  Auggie now spends his days Hiking, Jogging and going to the Cape Cod Beaches. I Love a Happy Ending!
