Absolutely amazing with kids of all ages. Unknown how he is with other dogs and cats. He has been around them in the past with no issues been he hasn’t been around other animals for awhile. Completely house trained. No health issues, But does best on a beef dog food with no chicken. Would love a home he can be lazy in or land he can roam around and protect. Needs a home asap, We are having to move and can not take him. Have tried reaching out to rescues and friends and family with no luck.

Story
This sweet girl was found wandering the streets of the county. Taken in by a Good Samaritan, Abby was timid and not sure about people. She quickly warmed up to the folks and their 3 large dogs. After a vet appointment, she was declared healthy! She loves to snuggle on the couch ...especially with one of the big dogs at the fosters. Loves to play tug o war with the big dogs too.!
