About Abby

Abby is an 8-year-old Wirehaired Dachshund seeking a special home without children. As a retired AKC show dog, she has a charming personality, but she requires specific care. Abby needs a securely fenced yard, a home visit, and a veterinarian reference to ensure she’ll thrive in her new environment. Though she sports an apricot and beige coat and is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, she has a few quirks: she can be territorial and protective, which means she might bite if she feels threatened. Abby has plenty of energy, loves playing ball, and enjoys chasing toys. She's also potty pad trained and crate trained. If you're interested in welcoming Abby into your life, please complete the application on our website, as the Petfinder inquiry does not serve as an official application. Her adoption fee is $350.
