Abbott's Story

Like his brother, Abbott has a sweet, affectionate nature — he just takes a slightly more laid-back approach when it comes to handing out kisses.<br/><br/>Abbott enjoys attention, loves being petted, and has a gentle charm that draws people in. While he may be a bit more reserved at first, once hes comfortable, his loving personality really shines through.<br/><br/>Were still learning about Abbott and havent had the chance to dog test him yet, but with the right meet-and-greet, he may do well with a dog friend. If youre looking for a young pup with a heart full of potential, Abbott could be the perfect addition to your family.
