Here's what the humans have to say about me:
They say age is only a number and I certainly agree. My name is Abbie Rose and while I may technically be 10 years old I have the energy and personality of a dog half my age. I love to go on walks. My foster family has me walking 2-4 miles each day and it is so much fun. I am excited to be on the leash, but once I smell a few things I settle into a nice walk-pace. I love to play ball. The more tennis balls the better! I also like toys. I like to take them all out of the basket, so I have lots to play with. My foster family has 2 dogs. I think I prefer being the one and only, but I know how to live with others. I am happy to meet all the dogs on my walks, and big and small people, too. I also lived with two cats. I pride myself on getting along with everyone, even those pesky cats who hissed at me and tried to make me mad. I know better than to let one of them take a swipe at me. I do like to talk a lot. I announce everyone who comes to the door or even might be walking by. I do like to hear my voice.
My foster family took me to my first baseball game. It was great! I got to sing along to the music. I did so good they gave me a hotdog. I just wish I could have been on the field chasing that ball! My foster Mom let me have the treat cause, I really do need to gain a few pounds. Now that the specialist has diagnosed IBD and I have a special food and probiotics I feel and look so much better.
Don’t let my slim figure worry you. I just need to put on a few healthy pounds. Before I was in my foster home, I was left alone for a very long time without food, so I am just trying to regain my shapely figure.
Being a dog of maturity, I consider myself to have manners. I am house trained and know to go outside. I will sleep in a crate, and I don’t make a peep, I am in my foster parent’s bedroom all night. I don’t chew on anything that I should not. I do know a few commands like sit, down, shake/paw and would like to learn more. I do understand the word ‘NO’ and respond well to correction. I even learned how to use the dog door in my new foster home.
I am not super picky about my forever home. I get along with everyone, I just want a family that will take care of me so that I can take care of you.
