ABBY

ABBY is a gentle, affectionate 3 year old Australian Shepard mix looking for a loving home where she will be an included family member. Easy going, happy girl with a lower medium energy level who loves being with her human and dog pack. Sweet girl enjoys meeting new people, leisurely walks, occasional 'zoomies' in the yard, chewing on sticks/bones and being brushed. Would be ok going for short hikes in cooler weather. Housetrained with good house manners. Crate trained. Not destructive inside or outside. Dog friendly and really likes having the company of another dog. Loves children and is good/gentle with them. Cat friendly. Knows basic commands 'sit, lay down, paw, leave it, quiet, come' and would be happy to learn more if taught. Walks well on leash right by your side, not pulling, unless she sees another dog. She has worked with a great trainer in Portland on that and now responds well to corrections/redirection. Rides well in the car. Not a big barker, but she will greet you and let you know when she is happy about things like going for a walk, having dinner, etc. with a little bark. When she's happy she will 'sing' for you. :) Sleeps through the night. Not a fan of loud, unexpected noises, so city life is not for her. Looking for a home where she will not be left alone all day for long hours. This beautiful girl bonds quickly to people and will make a great family member for most homes. Abby is 65 lb. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention. She is living in a foster home in Portland. Meet/greets can be arranged after a completed application is submitted.
