About Abby

Meet Abby, a delightful Pit Bull Terrier who's won the hearts of everyone at the shelter with her larger-than-life personality. She arrived in April as an owner surrender, and we can't wait for her to find a loving forever home. Abby is a playful soul who thrives on social interaction and loves her toys, showing her playful nature at every opportunity. She's also quite the looker with her charming cowpatch pattern. While Abby is a solid 88 pounds, she’s really just a gentle giant. Her playful spirit shines through, especially when catching treats in the air or throwing her paw up in a delightful display. Abby has worn down teeth, possibly from chewing on rocks, which may hint that she's somewhere between 3 and 5 years old. She’s well-trained, fully vaccinated, and spayed. Abby is also dog-friendly, making her perfect for playdates at Camp Merricks next week. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, this affectionate girl is ready for adoption at $150. Whether you're looking to adopt or just want to meet her and brighten her day, she’ll be thrilled to see you! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
