My story

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

Abbott is a one-year old, 50-pound Labrador Retriever/Border Collie mix neutered male. He is very intelligent and learns new behaviors very fast. He is quiet indoors and playful with his frisky foster siblings outdoors. He likes the beach, PBS NewsHour, and tender green grass. He LOVES squeaky toys and afternoon naps.

Abbott has progressed by leaps and bounds since moving to a foster home on October 5th. He had lived at the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina since he and his brother were rescued as strays when they were 12-week old puppies.

Abbott would rather have attention than treats. He will thrive in a home with one or two mannerly dogs who would appreciate (or be tolerant of) his active puppy play style. He is still a little mouthy (like retrievers and collies), but does not bite or behave aggressively.

If you are looking for a smart, beautiful, low-maintenance pet companion who will gladly listen to your stories, make arrangements to meet Abbott today. He is currently in a foster home, so please contact the Humane Society at 252-413-7247 or via email at hsec@embarqmail.com to schedule a time to meet Abbott.

All dogs at the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and on heartworm and flea prevention. All dogs 6 months or older are tested for heartworms. Adoptions come with a small bag of Hill's Science Diet food and a free one month trial of pet health insurance.
