Abbott is a 1½-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who showed up to the shelter with his brother, Costello. Compared to Costello, Abbott is the relaxed one—friendly and loving, but not quite as eager to give kisses to strangers. He soaks up all the affection he can get, and that quiet charm tends to win people over. At first, Abbott can hang back, but once he's comfortable, his personality opens up and he becomes every bit the devoted companion you'd hope for. The staff is still getting to know him, and he hasn't been dog-tested yet, but they're open to meet-and-greets with potential dog friends. Abbott's young, has lots of potential, and just needs someone patient who can help him settle into a real home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
