My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Friendship has changed the way Prison Graduates will be adopted. Late this week (Thursday 7-28 or Friday 7-29), several Prison Graduates will be returning from being trained at the Grafton Correctional Institute and will be available for immediate adoption. Applications for these Prison Graduates are now being accepted. All dogs have been receiving extensive training in obedience, basic commands, manners, house training and proper leash walking. Please submit an application in person at the shelter or email one to Katie@friendshipapl.org. You will be contacted by phone when the Prison Graduates are available. An Adoption Application can be found on the website at friendshipapl.org under ADOPT.

Meet Abner! He's a sweet but a little shy, 4 year old American Bulldog/Boxer mix. Abner was first surrendered by his owner to another rescue due to having separation anxiety. The other facility worked on his anxiety and he has improved. From there he came to Friendship to find his forever home. There was a child in Abner's first home and he was fine with him. It's best if kids are 6 years of age or older. Abner has been living with other dogs at the prison but has never lived with cats. He is house trained and has manners. His family said Abner was crate trained too. Abner is certainly a GQ Dog...he loves to have his nails trimmed and enjoys a bath. He also thinks he is a giant lap dog and once he knows you may feel it necessary to make himself comfortable on your lap. He was an excellent co-pilot when riding in the car and is hoping his next car ride is with his forever family.

All dogs receive one or more vaccinations, a basic veterinary examination, are wormed, heartworm tested and spayed or neutered. Dogs 3 months and older are micro-chipped.
