About Abby
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 20 lbs
-ESTIMATED AGE: 1.5 years
-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Abby has lived with other dogs previously, and would love a home with a confident dog friend to show her the ropes.
-KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not know if Abby has been around cats before.
-KNOWN WITH KIDS: We do not know how Abby is around kids, but she would probably prefer a calm, quiet household.
-KNOWN CUES: Working on Touch.
-KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Abby is comfortable in her crate and is working on housetraining in her foster home.
-KNOWN LIKES: Treats, other dogs, people who work with her at her own speed.
-KNOWN DISLIKES: Loud noises, unexpected movements.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Abby's story began with heartbreak and uncertainty. She and her brother, Nick, were left behind when their owner never returned for them. After being surrendered to one of our rural shelter partners, Abby made her way to Homeward Trails, where she is finally getting the chance to learn what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family.
At first glance, Abby may seem like a quiet, shy Beagle who prefers to stay in the background. But spend a little time with her, and you'll discover the delightful personality waiting just beneath the surface. While she's still learning to navigate the sights and sounds of a busy suburban world, Abby is growing more confident every day with the support of her foster family and canine foster siblings.
One of Abby's most endearing qualities is the silly side she reveals when she feels comfortable. Her foster mom reports that Abby loves to roll around on the floor and can often be found lounging in the funniest positions or tucked into unexpected spots around the house. Those little glimpses of joy are a reminder that beneath her cautious exterior is a happy, playful dog just waiting to blossom.
Abby has lived with other dogs before and would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion who can continue to show her that the world isn't so scary. She takes comfort in following the lead of her dog friends and gains confidence from their example.
The family who adopts Abby won't just be giving her a home-they'll be giving her the chance to leave her uncertain past behind and finally experience the stability and love every dog deserves. The greatest reward will be watching her transformation: seeing the shy girl who once hung back become the goofy, affectionate companion she was always meant to be. Somewhere out there is the person who will help Abby write the next chapter of her story. We can't wait for her to find them.
