Meet Abby! Abby is a 2-year-old Wirehaired Terrier mix with a big personality packed into her 30-pound frame. She's a unique dog who marches to the beat of her own drum, keeping her foster family smiling with her many quirks. Abby is fully housetrained, not destructive, and settles in nicely, having developed a comfortable routine. While not a cuddly lap dog, she's learning to enjoy affection and has started seeking out morning pets, a huge milestone for her! Abby enjoys being near her people and follows them from room to room. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a calm, canine companion, as she gains confidence from their presence. She also completely ignores cats. Abby is a light barker, letting you know if something seems out of place, but she's not excessive. A significant flight risk, Abby is terrified of leashes and is athletic, strong, and agile, making a secure 5-foot fenced yard an absolute requirement. She can be wary of strangers, especially those wearing hats, and will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Her favorite activity is sprinting around the yard, showcasing her speed and athleticism. Despite her fears, Abby has never shown aggression. She's looking for a patient family who will celebrate her small victories and appreciate her unique personality.
