Description:

Abby had been adopted into a wonderful, loving home but sadly her parents are getting a divorce and she was not able to stay with them any longer.  She misses them very much, especially her mom, and doesn't understand why they haven't come to get her.  Abby was so sad and confused the first few days she was in her foster home that she refused to even go out in the backyard alone at all for fear of being abandoned.  She needed her foster mom to stay with her the entire time she was outside.  She has learned to trust again and is ready for a new home to make her feel loved and secure and keep her forever this time.

 

11/16/2009: Abby is a spayed female basenji/lab mix with a beautiful golden red fur coat.  She is a medium size and full-grown at about 11 months old.  She gets along well with most dogs although she does sometimes bark at them when she first meets them.  I'm not sure why--just her way of saying hello I guess.  She is completely house-broken and crate-trained.  She will sleep through the night in her crate although she is not particulary happy about staying in her crate for very long during the day.  She is very active and playful and loves to run and play football or chase in the backyard.  Her ideal home would have another young, active dog who is pretty easy-going and will listen to her when she orders him around but still tough enough to be a worth tug-of-war opponent.  She also needs a pretty good sized-yard as well as regular exercise.  Cars scare her for some reason and she would prefer to walk rather than ride.  She also hasn't quite realized that she doesn't have to worry about where her next meal is coming from and does not like to share her food or treats. 

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
