Story
Abe is a spunky, funny, shy at first, sweet and spicy puppy with lots of personality who's looking for his forever home. His adoption name is Abe but he currently goes by Little Potato, Peanut and Puppy. He came to me very shy and nervous but has come so far in his time here and is loves going on walks, being out and about, and especially meeting new dogs.
His favorite things are playing tug-o-war, rummaging the toy box for the next best toy, and being outside running around and laying in the sun. Although wrestling with the resident dog is his absolute favorite next to playing his shadow. When relaxing he loves laying on a dog bed under the sofa where it's cool and dark for the best beauty rest.
He's so close to being fully potty trained, he knows sit, come, and is learning down and how to catch treats! We walk every day so he’s figuring out the leash but loves all the different smells and sometimes just gets so excited that he wants to run! He’s gotten free rein of the house for over a month and does so well. Plus he sleeps through the night (next to the resident dog at the foot of the bed)!
He's still slow to get comfortable in new situations and I think he'll always be a sensitive soul, so lots of love and patience are important but with the right approach and encouragement he figures things out pretty fast. Positive reinforcement will be key plus he's super smart and highly treat motivated! He's only known a house with a companion pup and leans on/loves the resident dog so much. It's really helped him come out of his shell so I think a home with another pup is where he will thrive the most.
Abe is such a unique and special boy, I've never fostered a pup quite like him and he deserves an absolutely wonderful home. Let us know if you'd like to meet this cutie!
Abe is estimated to be 5 months old and 15 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
