Meet Abby! This sweet older lady has lots of pep in her step and is waiting for her next great adventure! Abby is an easy going gal who will happily trot along for walks and is just as happy to lay on the couch and watch a movie. Abby is sweet, affectionate and a good listener. She enjoys a good romp around the yard and will follow close behind you. She sometimes like to play with squeaky toys and may occasionally enjoy a game of tug. She will also do anything for a tasty treat! Abby can be a little nervous meeting new people and may take a little while to warm up. She has lived with small with dogs in the past and done well. She is nervous around small children and would do best with teenagers and up in the home. Ready to Adopt?
