Story
We are currently on a transport in OR and NorCal and have Abbie with us. Her adoption fell through at the last minute to no fault of her own. We are praying she finds a home before we return home ❤️
Meet Abbie! She is a purebred shih tzu. She weighs right at the 7 lb mark. She turned 1 on 11/11/24. Yes, she is full grown and at a very healthy weight. She is just a naturally small girl ❤️ She is spayed, current on all vaccines, had a dental cleaning done at time of her spay, is microchipped, and had an overall wonderful exam with our vet who has cleared her to find a home all her own.
She is house trained and does very well with having a schedule to go outside to potty, so we make sure to take her out every couple of hours and with that we don't have any accidents in the home.
She has been introduced to a crate, but it is not her favorite place whatsoever so it's become obsolete in our home as we want it to be a place of comfort security for our dogs but for Abbie it hasn't been that, so to accommodate her little heart we just allow her to sleep on a dog bed aside ours at night and she does very well with that. She is a snuggler, and if you were okay with her in bed with you she would LOVE that sleeping arrangement even more ❤️
She is leash trained, and loves her walks however she can get them. She is VERY social. She loves being out and about enjoying her day whatever that may look like, especially knowing she gets to do so with her favorite human!
She is wonderful with ALL animals. Loves dogs and cats alike, and if you have any other kind of animals I'm certain she would immediately become their friend as well as that's just how her heart functions.
She is wonderful with men, women, and children alike! She is a natural sweetheart, and one that will instantly become a part of your own heart from the moment you meet her. She is NOT a barker at all, but is very observant of unfamiliar noise and while curious will wait for you to investigate it to make sure she is safe 😂 she is a total princess and puts her entire trust in her humans all the time!
She has a very adventurous little spirit. LOVES road trips, and to visit new places. She will run and play in excitement in new areas, but always comes back to you because no matter how exciting life gets, it only gets better with YOU ❤️
She will do best in a home where her person is with her, as she is a true companion dog. Don't let her age fool you, because she truly is an old soul with a genuine love for everyone, and just wants someone to do life with 💓 She is not hard to please, so if you have a lap for her to lay on, an extra place on your bed, and a spare seat in your car then Abbie is the one YOUR life is missing, trust me!!!
Her adoption fee in total is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/abbie
It covers her spay, vaccines, dental cleaning, microchip /registration, and exam with our vet.
Her spay went perfect. She did end up needing a dental cleaning, but overall her teeth were in great health, she just needed a good cleaning and polish ❤️ Ears were examined, and were in great health. Overall exam was great. She was given an antibiotic injection to aid in both her spay, and dental cleaning.
As always it also goes back into the overall care involved in the time she has been where with us, her grooming costs, and her training we have personally done with her 💕
