Howdy, I'm Abilene! At just over four years old, I'm a medium-sized mixed breed girl who came all the way from the Texas border. I brought six pups into the world, saw each one head off to a new family, and now I'm hoping it's finally my time. At first meetings, I get a little nervous and can be shy—I've seen a lot, and I take things slow. My jaw healed a little crooked from an old injury, but it doesn't slow me down or bother me. What I really need is a calm home, ideally with adults or older kids who get that some dogs just need space and patience to come out of their shells. Once you give me time, you'll see the sweet and gentle side I've been saving for the right person. If you want a loving companion who needs a bit of understanding, come meet me. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
