Story
Hi, I’m Abe Lincoln. I’ve been told I’m a pretty special guy—calm, well-mannered, and easy to live with.I’m very much a creature of routine. It took me a few days to settle into eating in my foster home, but once my bowl was moved closer to the dining table, everything clicked. Now I happily eat whenever my people sit down for meals or snacks. I like being part of the action.Every morning starts the same way: I go out to the enclosed backyard to take care of business, then I come back inside and wait patiently by the refrigerator for my treat. That said, if you sit on the couch and call me over, I’ll choose snuggles over snacks every time.I love my dog bed so much that I have two of them. During the day, I like to relax downstairs, keeping an eye on things. At night, I head upstairs and sleep peacefully in whichever bedroom my bed is in. I’m flexible, as long as I’m comfortable and close by.I spend time with my foster`s three-and-a-half-year-old grandson, who visits often. He’s loud and still learning how to be gentle, but I’m endlessly patient with him. There’s a lot of activity in my foster home—people coming and going throughout the day—and I handle it well. I’ll bark to let you know someone’s at the door, but once they’re inside, I just want to sniff their fingers and say hello. After that, I’m completely at ease. The neighborhood kids even stop by to take me for walks.I do have a strong interest in squirrels—they’re very exciting, and I’ll bark and try to chase them. I’ve also noticed that when visitors come in with big, busy energy, I naturally gravitate toward them, nudging them for pets until they calm down. I seem to have a talent for helping people relax.I don`t have any other canine companions in my foster home. While I may bark at other dogs, I did live with a small senior dog in my prior home, and I have met bigger dogs before and have done well with a proper introduction. My ideal home is one where someone is present most of the time—whether that’s a family, a couple, or a single person who works from home or has a flexible schedule. I do well in active households with visitors and kids, as long as they’re kind. I appreciate routine, a cozy place to rest, and people who enjoy companionship as much as I do. A fenced yard is a bonus (especially for squirrel watching), but not required if I get regular walks and attention. I thrive with structure, positive reinforcement, and gentle leader
