About Abby (the Gem)

Meet Abby, a truly special Bully mix who's ready to steal your heart! Abby came to us in April as an owner surrender and has quickly become a staff favorite with her larger-than-life personality and superstar status. She's a real looker with her unique cowpatch pattern and impressive physique, weighing in at a solid 88 pounds, but don't let her size fool you – she's a gentle giant! Abby loves toys and is incredibly social, always eager to be involved and included. She's a smart cookie, too, mastering "sit" and taking treats gently, though she also enjoys a fun game of catch! You'll love her sweet gesture of offering her paw even when not asked. Abby is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years old, and while her teeth show some wear, her spirit is as bright as ever. She's dog-friendly and will be attending playdates at Camp Merricks for extra exercise and fun.
