Abby's Story

Abby is a 5YO, female Newfoundland. Abby came to us after she was left mostly neglected in an outbuilding by herself (no other critters). She has suffered some developmental quirks due to this (and possibly some stunted growth), and thus she has spent some time in rescue adjusting to a more predictable environment with guaranteed dinners. She loves her crate and will collect her preferred toys in it. Her foster mom often refers to her as her 'Little Cave Dragon.' Abby likes this predictability and thrives under, so a home with regular schedules and not too many visitors is going to be the best bet for her.<br/><br/>Abby is dog selective. As she has gotten older, she has become more tolerant of dogs that will ignore her and her stuff, but she does not like dogs that get in her personal space uninvited. She does give exception to Gia (also in foster care) who she enjoys playing with out in the yard. Our rescue would consider placing both girls together. She is interested in cats, but easily calls away from them now that she's a bit older. While she does like a good belly rub, she is not a cuddly dog (yet) and will turn into a bull in a china shop if you attempt to hug her on any but her own terms. She is on the smaller side and would likely enjoy outdoor activities with her humans (like hiking, swimming, etc) if they were worked these things into her schedule slowly. She will require a physically fenced yard, at least four feet high.<br/><br/>Health Concerns: Abby has some Summer allergies that are treated with daily Apoquel. <br/><br/>(And yes.. she got into the trunk on her own accord, we aren't sure why, but it sure was funny.)<br/><br/>Quick Compatibility...<br/>Cats: Yes<br/>Dogs: Selective<br/>Kids: Uncertain<br/>Fence: Required<br/>Medical: Seasonal Allergies<br/><br/>If you are interested in Abby, please, complete our application at apply.mnnewfrescue.com<br/><br/>To find out more about our adoption process, check out our FAQ at http://newfoundland.ninja/faq.html<br/><br/>To support the dogs in our care, check out our wish list at wishlist.mnnewfrescue.com <br/><br/>Minnesota Newfoundland Rescue will adopt out-of-state, but adoptions need to be finalized by the adopting family in Minnesota. We do not allow our dogs to be transported by anyone other than their adopting owner. Our adoption fees vary by dogs, but range from $500-$800.
