Dog Name: Abel
Breed: Aussie mix
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 8
Weight: 65lbs
Medical Needs: Heartworm recheck in August. Abel is also blind, but long as he's given time to learn his surroundings, it doesn't affect him all that terribly. That nose leads him when his ears don't.
Abel takes ½ a carprofen chew every night with dinner to help with his old man aches.
Housebroken: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
Good in the car: Yes
Good on a leash: Yes
Energy level: Low, with occasional zoomies
Need a fenced in yard: No, leashed walks will be fine
Dog Friendly: Yes
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? He might enjoy a friend and potential “seeing eye” buddy, but it's not a requirement.
Cat Friendly? He sniffs for them, but seems to have adjusted to their presence. Dog-savvy cats would be best.
Kid Friendly: Yes
If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Children old enough to understand and respect his impairments.
Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?
Abel is as sweet as he is soft, and loves nothing more than to curl up beside his people or with a nice bone to chew on. You'll rarely remember he's there, he's so quiet in the house - he saves his barking for the neighborhood gossip with other dogs.
This ol’ southern boy is a proper gentleman, tolerant of anything from brushing to baths, nail trims, and even having his mouth messed with. Frankly, so long as you're touching him and talking to him, he's convinced he's in heaven, and he'll do whatever you want him to if it means you'll never stop.
Foster’s Location: Frederica, DE
