Abby's Story

Meet Abby – A Gentle Soul Searching for Her Person<br/><br/>11–12 month-old Red Border Collie Mix | Spayed | Microchipped | Up-to-date on Vaccines<br/>Currently fostered in Bend, OR | Adoption Fee: $400<br/><br/>Abby is a stunning young red Border Collie mix with a soft spirit and a heart full of untapped potential. At less than a year old, she’s already overcome more challenges than most dogs ever face. Because of her difficult start, Abby is deeply fearful — but please don’t mistake that for a lack of love. Under her worry is a dog who wants to connect. Her foster says it best:<br/><br/>“She's a happy girl — she just needs to get past that boundary with a special person.”<br/><br/>What Abby needs most is someone patient, gentle, and committed to helping her continue building trust. She would thrive in a SINGLE WOMAN / FEMALE-ONLY HOUSEHOLD or with a CALM, RETIRED COUPLE, ideally on a quiet property with a large fenced yard or acreage where she can safely explore without pressure. No city living, please — it would be overwhelming for her.<br/><br/>? What Makes Abby Special<br/><br/>Outdoor Lover: She adores being outside, tagging along for walks and quietly taking in the world. She loves being part of whatever her foster is doing.<br/><br/>Routine-Oriented: Abby learns schedules quickly and finds comfort in predictability. She knows when it’s walk time — and she never forgets her morning cookie.<br/><br/>Playful at Heart: She enjoys fetch and is discovering her playful side more each day.<br/><br/>Dog- and Cat-Friendly: A calm, well-adjusted dog sibling would be a huge confidence booster for her. She also gets along with cats and doesn’t chase deer or livestock.<br/><br/>Deeply Loyal: Once she bonds, she bonds hard. She doesn’t wander and always keeps an eye on her people — a quiet, steady companion who wants to feel safe near those she trusts.<br/><br/>Abby is not the kind of dog who will leap into your lap on day one. But with time, patience, and a loving routine, she will become an incredibly devoted companion. She’s not looking for just anyone — she’s waiting for her person.<br/><br/>If you feel called to open your heart and home to Abby, please apply at:<br/>herduneededahome.com/adopt-a-dog<br/><br/>Questions? Email: hunahapps@gmail.com<br/><br/>Let’s help this beautiful girl find the peaceful forever home she so truly deserves.
