Here's what the humans have to say about me:
To MEET Abby - fill out an application. Cut and paste this link into your web browser: www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/adoption/application-to-adopt-a-companion/
Apply to FOSTER: www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/how-you-can-help/foster/
Foster parents have the first option to adopt. We will provide all you need to foster.
Weight: 10 lbs
Age: 7 months
Personality: Very friendly, playful, extremely sweet, affectionate. She is energetic and can jump anywhere. Abby loves to explore and go behind the sofa, TV, and find a way to be on the dining table. She will lick everything, so needs supervision all the time and put in a play pen when unattended. She is teething right now and will need plenty of appropriate chew toys, so she doesn't use your hands!
Coat: Short, silky, soft, does shed a little
Training: Knows how to sit. Food motivated and smart, so easy to train.
Potty trained: 50% and still in process. Foster mom is training her and reports that her potty times are predictable. She is very smart and learns quickly!
Health: Excellent health. Ears, eyes, heart, hips, knees good. Has an overbite.
History: Abby's original owner dumped her at a pet shop in Korea. The pet shop owner didn't want her and told people she would sell her to a farmer's market that was known to be a dangerous place for dogs ending up in the dog meat trade. A nice lady saved her upon hearing this news and tried to find her a furever home. Sadly this cute puppy didn't get any interest from potential adopters, since she was a mixed breed. So here she is!
Fostered in: West Hollywood, CA (Southern California applications only.)
Type of home: Would make an excellent family dog since she loves kids. She would also make a great companion for a single person who wants to spend time with their dog. Abby will need an adopter willing to train her, since she is just a puppy, but she is very quick to learn. She will likely stay small, so she would be an excellent dog to take with you traveling! Abby has a wonderful personality and would make a good candidate to be trained for therapy dog work.
Crate trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Adoption fee (non-refundable): $300

4. Home safety check
5. Final approval and adoption finalized
Our volunteers, donors and adopters mean the world to us! Without you, we couldn't do what we do - saving the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and providing them with a loving forever home.
