Hi friends Abigail the Perfect here. My foster mom also calls me Abba-daba-ding-dong and Abacadabra. I came into a local shelter after being left in an apartment and later owner surrendered after neighbors called because I was having choir practice. When I came into the shelter I was a bit shy, but very quickly warmed up to people and discovered dog friends are AMAZING.
I am overall a great girl, hence being titled "the Perfect," and I have loads of energy and a few quirks as I am still learning.
Most importantly my priority in life is play. It is very important to have fun, and I maximize this every day. My foster mom says I am the only dog she has seen multitask play. I can chew on stuffy and kick a wobble ball around the yard at the same time! On balls...I have massive herding skills. I am not sure where I am herding the ball, but I will go and go and go. My foster mom calls this wrecking ball time because of the gleeful chaos I cause.
With other dogs, I was initially really sensitive and would squeal when touched during play. That has changed and now I could play and wrestle all day. I am a bit relentless in encouraging friends to play and fully feel every dog will be my friend, if I just try hard enough. As a result I will go best with a doggie friend that has a similar attitude on play, or my doggie friend might not appreciate me as much as they should. I love wrestling and can be mouthy in my play. You know how I love toys? I also am ok with sharing my toys (my foster mom says that this should be slowly introduced in a new home).
My biggest quirk is I have a passion for chewing through leashes and harnesses. I am working on it, but I am not a tie out kind of gal, because I can free myself with great ease. A fenced in yard is the ideal fit.
I LOVE car rides and adventures. I have shopped at several store and had a grand time. I do occasionally attempt to shoplift because I do not understand money, so that needs to be watched. I don't want to end up in jail.
I am house broken and crate trained. In my crate I do have choir practice now and then, so shared walls might not be the best fit.
On training, I know sit, shake and down. On leash, I can pull and do best with a harness.
My ideal home is looking for a playful, social, energetic dog. I would love another friendly dog companion but that is not needed. If someone is interested in dog sports we might have a really good time trying together. I am pretty much a go anywhere dog. When I am bored I can get a bit playfully mouthy and I do not always watch where I am going so older kids might be a better fit. I am in my canine adolescence and still learning. I generally have good house manners, but sometimes need reminders that shoes aren't toys (shoplifting).
When my foster mom is doing chores I am always willing to lend a helping paw by following her around and offering my assistance and inspection services.
If I sound like a match, please fill out and application so my foster human can talk to you!
