abe

Abe is a spunky, funny, shy at first, sweet and spicy puppy with lots of personality who's looking for his forever home. His adoption name is Abe but he currently goes by Little Potato, Peanut and Puppy :) He was a little shy guy at first but now loving going on walks, jumping in the river, being out and about, and especially meeting new dogs.

His favorite things are playing tug-o-war, rummaging the toy box for the next best toy, and being outside running around and laying in the sun. And his absolute favorite thing is wrestling with the resident dog and sharing toys with him to chew on. When relaxing he loves laying on a dog bed under the sofa where it's cool and dark for the best beauty rest.

The potty training is going so well that he is almost 100%! Plus he is currently learning how to jingle a bell or hit a button to say he needs to go out. He knows sit, come, down and is learning “stay”. He also catches treats in midair! He is just so smart. We walk every day so he’s figuring out the leash and loves all the different smells. He’s gotten free rein of the house for over a month and does so well. Plus, he sleeps through the night (next to the resident dog at the foot of the bed)!

Sometimes it takes him a little extra to get comfortable in new situations and he can have a sensitive side but a little patience and some love goes a long way! With the right approach and encouragement he figures things out very fast. Positive reinforcement has been fantastic for him plus he's super smart and highly treat motivated – great for training! (This boy loves food!)

Abe's dream home? One with another friendly dog! He truly thrives with a canine companion to play, learn, and cuddle with, and we'd love to see him join a family where he'll have a built-in best friend. Large or small, he loves them all!

Let us know if you'd like to meet this cutie!

Abe is estimated to be 6 months old and 21 lbs. Since we dont know the dogs actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
