Abbott's Story

➡️ Adoption Application: https://frrescue.knack.com/db#adopter-application/<br/><br/>This handsome Golden Retriever is named Abbott because he's a bit of a comedian - spend a little time with him and he'll have you laughing in minutes. Given this, and his need for continuing education, we couldn't help but make the connection to the show Abbott Elementary whose themes align with this beautiful Golden Retriever:<br/><br/>1) Untapped Potential: Abbot's high energy and personality invites the need for guidance and structure.<br/>2) Growth Through Guidance: Abbott is making progress with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.<br/>3) Good Intentions, Imperfect Execution: Abbott's well-meaning nature is sometimes expressed in chaotic or comedic ways.<br/>4) Joy Amid Chaos: Abbott brings laughter and warmth even while testing boundaries.<br/>5) Supportive Environment Matters: Abbot thrives when given encouragement, understanding, and clear expectations.<br/><br/>While he knows sit and down and takes treats oh-so-nicely, he still needs to curb some of his excitable behaviors, counter surfing, begging, and mouthiness. He is a big, handsome boy weighing about 100 pounds and would benefit from losing a little extra weight...especially since he thinks he's a lap dog. He's 2 years old and a confident, happy, curious, loving dog. Abbott sleeps in his crate at night and loves hanging out in it too. Belly rubs are one of Abbott's favorite past times and he enjoys chasing the water stream from a hose. <br/><br/>Abbott was lovingly surrendered to us by his family who cared for him deeply, but after welcoming a new baby, they realized Abbott wasn’t getting the exercise and mental stimulation he needs to thrive. If Abbott sounds like the star pupil you've been looking to share your home with, fill out an application.
