About Abigail

Abigail is a delightful 10-week-old puppy who will be ready for her forever home shortly after Halloween. She exudes sweetness and charm, making her one of the cutest pups around. Abigail is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has been treated for intestinal parasites. While she’s healthy, owners should keep in mind that ongoing parasite treatment is common for puppies. Abigail is not exposed to other pets or children, so she may be best in an adult-only home. The adoption fee of $550 is waived for pre-adoption before her arrival. If adopting from an event or foster home, an additional fee of $50 applies to comply with local regulations. For MA residents, a mandatory 48-hour quarantine period is required at a specified isolation facility, with an extra fee for this service. If you’re interested in inviting Abigail into your life, consider applying today! Check your email for confirmation once you've submitted your application.
