Black and Tan German Shepherd Dog Mix
Age:
Weight: 53 pounds
Abigail’s story is a sad one. She was fostered as a young pup and adopted around 12 weeks old. Abigail’s foster mom didn’t feel 100% confident about her new home but did not have a legitamite reason to refuse. One day several months ago a concerned citizen made the call to animal control to report abigail’s emaciated appearance. Upon the officer’s arrival abigail was not seen and the owner did not answer the door.
The next day two caring, duke energy workers saw abigail lying inside a fenced area. They were not certain if she was even alive. Luckily she was but barely. She only weighed 21lbs and now after months and months of love and care back at her foster mom’s home, she weighs a whopping 53lbs!
Finally after 8 months of waiting for a court hearing, Abigail has been released and is available to find a new loving forever home where she will be treated as a queen!
Although Abigail’s owner only received a slap on the wrist, the important thing is that abigail is safe and happy now and can start a new life. Abigail’s experience has made her food aggressive towards other dogs which is a behavior that can be modified with proper guidance from a professional. She is also nervous initially around new people, men and children in particular.
A committed owner willing to work through abigail’s insecurities is required. Abigail should come around very quickly with constant guidance from a strong leader.
Her adoption includes two free sessions with dog behavior consultant, Stacy Hulen of Dogs Behaving Badly.
Abigail loves to play fetch and be near her caretaker. She will give a constant nudge for affection. She gets along well with the other foster dogs but won’t tolerate a pushy first impression. She does well around puppies and small dogs although we aren’t sure about cats.
