About Abby

Meet Abby. Abby is a lovable senior girl who was discovered wandering the streets of Rochester before finding refuge at Animal Control. This cuddle bug thrives on companionship and is happiest when snuggled up close to her human. With her unique challenges—she's blind in one eye and somewhat hard of hearing—Abby requires a safe home where she can navigate her surroundings with care. Stairs pose a risk, so she will need a helping hand up and down them. On the positive side, this sweet girl reliably potties outside when taken out regularly. Abby enjoys curling up either in your bed or in her cozy space, as long as she’s close to her people. Ideal for a gentle household, Abby doesn’t need much activity; she simply seeks love and a warm lap to snuggle into. If you're ready to provide a safe and loving environment, Abby could be your perfect companion for her golden years. Additionally, Abby qualifies for Camp Companion's Senior for Senior program, waiving her adoption fee if her adopter is 63 or older. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
