Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Currently in San Antonio, TX, Abby is looking for the perfect home where she can chill and be loved! She is a really good girl and extra sweet according to her foster. Abby gets along with the other female and male dog in the home and integrated with them both. She would love to have furry siblings in her next home but she is also perfectly happy with her humans. We don't know how she would do around cats and plan on a home without small children due to her delicate front right leg.
We know that Abby is about 3 years old and that she suffered a massive leg break as a puppy. This was never given any medical attention so it healed on it's own and set in place. We had X-Rays and the vets all agree that there is nothing surgical that can be done at this point and to make sure she is comfortable. Abby uses the leg and we are going to see if a splint makes her life any easier. Her next home just needs to be one she could easily get around in and gets losts of love!
Since being with DC Dogos she has learned a lot about being an inside dog and is now housetrained. She really loves to hang out and lay on her back like dogos tend to do! She really is a sweet girl and we cannot believe how wonderful she is despite that injury she has. Abby also shows signs of hip dysplasia onset and her new family will need to keep her on daily joint meds, good food, and moderate exercise. When we got Abby she was "cow hocked", meaning her knees bent inward on her back legs. Now that she gets proper exercise and not in a crate 24/7 she has really shown a lot of improvement and we expect that to continue! Her foster says her cow hocked back legs are barely even noticable now. TLC and proper care goes a long way!
For more information about Abby you can contact us at paws@dcdogos.org. Her current foster is moving and we need to find her a new home in June and we prefer it to be her furever home if at all possible!
