Story
Brandy is a sweet 3yo lab-shepherd mix that came to us approximately 6 months ago after spending most of her life in a crate for 12 hours a day due to her previous owner being a single parent with a child in sports. She is an excellent companion, loves going for walks and will happily be your shadow. Brandy would do best in a quieter home without reactive companions due to high levels of anxiety brought on by other dogs barking (our primary dog is a herding dog and at this time they feed into each other).We have taken her to parks and fishing and she loves just being at our feet. She loves to play with toys and canine friends and does great at the groomer. She loves any and all treats and is the dog that will happily curl up at the foot of your bed and love you for the rest of her life.

Story
After literally getting kicked🤯into the streets by the children of his elderly owner when he passed away, a neighbor recognized Schmitty and was able to get him to safety at a local shelter. That’s when ABRA stepped in to promise this sweet soul 😍that he would never face a moment of want ever again. Schmitty is estimated to be about 8 yrs old and is a Chi/Doxie mix. He does have a significant heart murmur, which is not uncommon for his breeds. He is not currently requiring any meds or treatment and has had two EKG done prior to both surgeries and was cleared to proceed. He recently got neutered and had a full dental🦷, losing 9 teeth in the process, but boy does his breath smell 👃🏻 better!! 🤣 Schmitty has never met a soul that he does not like. He is being fostered with 2 small dogs 🐶 and absolutely 💯 loves everyone that comes and goes through the house 🏡. He was a huge hit at our Easter 🐰 celebration, snuggling from lap to lap in a house of 40 strangers. Schmitty is a refined gentleman, he enjoys wearing a bow tie , fully house trained and rarely barks.

Story
Fred! Our sweet, always smiling Fredly. He's such a good boy! Fred was left at a very crowded shelter with all of his (adult) littermates and was the only one to make it out alive :( What we know about Fred since he's been in our care is that he can be resource guard-y with other dogs, NOT with people. We have always been able to take food/toys away from him. He can be a bit nervous with new people, especially men, but honestly it takes him all of 24-48 hours to warm up and then he's a velcro dog! Never wants to leave your side! He is not destructive and is content to just curl up and sleep in bed while you are at work. He is a wonderful cuddler, his head feels like velvet, and he's just a doll of a 53# mutt. No idea what breeds he is, he's just a perfect muttly mix. Fred is almost 4 years old and just waiting for his forever person/family to find him.

Story
Our sweet angel litter was born on January 16, 2026. Mom was a stray and we rescued her 6 days before she gave birth to 12 beautiful babies! Mom has the SWEETEST temperament and is fostered with dogs, a cat, 40 chickens and a toddler! She loves them all! We are sure her babies will be just as sweet. Results of a DNA test show that babies are a mix of Akita,APBT, Staffie, American and English bulldog. Cherub is one of the only darling girls. Our puppy adoption fee is $350 and includes deworming, vaccines, spay, microchip, etc. Everything starts with an application. You can fill one out on our website, abraangels.com If the website gives you any trouble, simply send us your email address at abraangels@gmail.com and we'll get one sent to you!

Story
Theo Huxtable! He's a total dream! Theo is so darn sweet and wonderful. He doesn't know a stranger. Theo loves everyone he meets, be it human, dog or cat. He is about 10 months old with ears for days! Theo weighs 40 pounds. He is an energetic bundle who would love a fenced-in yard. He'd also make a great jogging partner and would LOVE a dog to play with! He enjoys long walks on the beach (no really, he does!), playing, always having a toy in his mouth, and snuggling with his foster mama and dog siblings. Great with kids too!
