Hello!  My name is Abby. I am an affectionate, playful, energetic, and shy 2yr old, 30lb, slender, short-haired mutt with long legs and huge adorable ears. I am a lap dog and love to cuddle with my foster humans in a bed, couch, chair, or on the floor. I am fostered with two smaller (25lb dogs), one 14 week doodle puppy, and one adult cat. I get along well with all of them, especially my playful canine brother and puppy. I get overwhelmed around bigger dogs I don’t know, especially if they respond aggressively to my initial shyness and apprehension. I am scared when I first meet strangers but am such an affectionate little girl once I am comfortable. I just need someone who is patient and can train me and help me learn to trust. I would do best in a home by myself with a fenced-in back yard where I could run around with my humans or with a non-aggressive dog that is smaller than me (25lb or smaller).

I am fully potty trained and leash trained. I love to take walks around the neighborhood. I still have some puppy traits in me and love to get excited when I play. I really enjoy hard chews/bones, small squeaky balls, and soft stuffed squeaky toys. I have a good bark, which makes me a good guard dog. I had puppies during the fall of 2022 and was spayed in January 2023. I am a shy, healthy, energetic, athletic, affectionate and cuddly little girl who is looking for a forever family that I can love and call my own. Are you my new family? I would love to meet you, take a walk, sit next to you, and give you kisses!

The adoption fee of $250 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.
