About Abby

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! After 9.5 years of unwavering loyalty, Abby is still ready for her next adventure! If you dream of a dog who already understands every house rule, Abby is your perfect match. At 9.5 years young, she embodies what it means to be a Dream Dog: after years as a loyal companion, Abby is embarking on a new chapter with her trademark grace and devotion intact. If you want all the comfort, affection, and routine of a seasoned friend—without any of the puppy mischief—Abby will fit right in. She’s respectful of your home, never puts a tooth near your shoes, and adores curling up on the couch for a cuddle. Abby takes pride in her house training and loves to nap the day away, making her ideal for anyone seeking a gentle, lower-energy companion. Weighing a cozy 45 pounds, she’s the perfect size for sharing the best couch spots. Abby is gentle and affectionate, and she’s especially wonderful with children and mellow households. While she does well with other dogs after slow introductions, a home without small dogs is best. Please note that she does not get along with cats. Prior to adoption, all animals here receive full veterinary care: exams, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter, and any needed treatments. A vet reference, home or family visit, and an adoption fee are required. Transport options are available within Pennsylvania, the tri-state area, and New England. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
