Update – Abby is doing great! She has gone to a few adoption events to help her socialize. She’s learning so much in her obedience classes and by the end of each class Abby is, understandably, pooped. Her foster mom said that the classes are giving Abby the confidence that she has lacked. She is learning to be more social, to be accepting, and she has less anxiety. Thankfully Abby is realizing that she’s worthy of those things and much, much more. We already knew that she’s deserving of all good things, but Abby hasn’t totally figure it out for herself just yet.
If you’re interested in meeting Abby please fill out an adoption application.
This petite girl is 2 year old Abby. Abby found herself at the County shelter with severe injuries to her head and neck, including a badly fractured jaw. She also had a urinary tract infection. Her injuries bear evidence of an attack by a larger animal. She had many puncture wounds, and her face was very swollen. The fracture prevents her from eating properly, and was causing her a lot of pain. She is still under medical care until that jaw of hers heals completely.
Since feeling much better, Abby’s true personality has shown through. She is now a playful, happy and loving little girl and her foster momma works hard to teach Abby all kinds of things. For instance Abby is kennel trained and house trained to the door. Abby will be doggie door trained once she’s allowed to lose that tire-cone. She gets along well with boy dogs her size and her foster mom’s cat. She has learned to like the “boss” dog who is 12. Abby knows sit, off, and no-bark. Right now she’s learning other commands such as place and she will be starting obedience lessons soon. Abby is loyal and loves her people and is happy just to be around them. Little Abby was (understandably) anxious when she was first brought in but has come a long way to be a happy girl.
Donations are still needed for Abby’s medical care. To donate, please use our donation form found in the right side column. 100% of every dollar donated goes to the dogs.
