About Abigail

Abigail, known as Abby to her friends, is a 7-year-old Bluetick Coonhound who landed at a rural shelter during a storm before finding her rhythm with a foster family. She’s mastered the art of communication—give her a bell on the door, and she’ll ring it when she’s ready for a walk or a drive. Abby makes her presence clear, and her straightforward nature is part of what makes her so endearing. With people, Abigail truly shines. She’s all about the company—adults, kids (10 and up), anyone who’s up for a snuggle. Her idea of a good night is a nap on the couch where, true to her breed, she snores away contentedly. She’d thrive with another dog to share her adventures, but cats are off her social calendar. Abby’s leash manners are a work in progress, mostly because she gets excited about being outside, but she benefits from a consistent routine and settles in well once she trusts her person. Crate training is going well, and she’s learning the house training basics. Storms still make her anxious, so she needs a home that’s calm and lets her ride them out indoors. If your pace can fit in a few extra car rides and plenty of couch time, Abigail is the kind of dog who makes it all feel worthwhile. Fun fact: Abigail is a Taurus, which might explain her steady, loving nature. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
