Abbie
is a sweet, 9-year-old girl who is looking for a place to land
after a whirlwind of a life, and we only know part of her story.
She came into rescue 4 years ago and immediately required surgery
to empty her gut of several things she had eaten that were not
going to pass through on their own. After recovering from surgery,
she required heartworm treatment and therefore spent quite some
time in her foster home. She was adopted, and recently returned
to Bluegrass because her owner could no longer care for her. Prior
to her return, Abbie had another surgery to remove a mammary tumor.
The tumor was not biopsied; therefore, we do not know if it was
cancerous. Abbie sleeps very well through the night but overall,
acts like a much younger dog, and is ready to play whenever you
are! She loves her walks, and frankly could use more leash training,
but for her, there is nothing better than being outside with her
person. She becomes very excited when she knows she is going outside!
Sometimes it’s hard to put on shoes because she is *so close*
you can’t see your shoes to tie them. Even in the back yard,
she’ll dart out and run around and sniff, come back joyfully
to see you, then run around and sniff some more! Abbie is a very
needy girl who loves to be as close as possible to her person.
She so appreciates every kindness you show. However, she understands
when you ask her to go lie down. Although she would prefer to
be in your lap, if you have a good bed for her, she will lie down
there. Abbie loves people, especially children. However, she should
not go to a home with smaller children due to the risk of knocking
them down. She’s also very good with dog-savvy cats, though
in her exuberance she may surprise them (“Play with me!
Play with me! Poke, poke, poke”).
Special
Needs If Any: None.
Geographic
Adoption Area: Kentucky and surrounding states but will adopt
outside that area if a home visit can be arranged and the people
are willing to travel to meet the Dobe in their foster home.
