About Abby

Meet Abby! This sweet 4-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/American Bully mix, weighing around 64lbs, is as lovely as her name. She's spayed, fully vaccinated, and up-to-date on her monthly preventatives, making her ready to find her forever family. Abby has a calm and gentle soul, balanced with a fun-loving spirit. She enjoys spending time with her foster sister and makes new dog friends with a happy wag and a big smile, showing a great understanding of canine body language. While she can be a little possessive at times, she's respectful and easygoing. She would be happy as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion. Her occasional zoomies are a reminder of her playful side! Abby is a pro at potty training, crate training, and even puts herself to bed, happily heading into her crate. She settles beautifully when crated and left alone. She hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding or food aggression. She enjoys leisurely walks, navigates stairs with ease, and while she'll ride in the car, it's not her favorite activity. Abby's favorite role is being a professional cuddle bug, firmly believing she's a lap dog despite her size, and she loves being close to her people. She is independent, curious, smart, loyal, and wonderfully calm. However, thunderstorms can be a bit frightening for her, leading her to seek a quiet, safe space until they pass. We don't have information on Abby living with cats or young children, so a home with older, dog-savvy children (10+) would be ideal. Her foster describes her as "practically perfect," and we wholeheartedly agree! If you're seeking a loyal, loving companion with a peaceful heart, a goofy smile, and endless cuddles, Abby might be the perfect fit for your family.

Ideal Home

Abby would thrive in a home that can provide her with plenty of love and cuddles. A home with older, dog-savvy children (10+) would be ideal, as we do not have information on her history with cats or younger children.

Ongoing Health

Abby is spayed, fully vaccinated, and up-to-date on her monthly preventatives.

Training & Support

Abby is fully potty trained, crate trained, and settles well when crated. She hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding or food aggression. Thunderstorms can be a bit scary for her, so she will seek out a quiet, safe spot.
