Abby (Reduced Rover)

Meet Abby: 16 Pounds of Terms & Conditions<br/><br/>Abby is a 7-8-year-old, 16-pound Rat Terrier mix with a brilliant little brain, excellent comedic timing, and a personal-space policy that should really be printed before installation.<br/><br/>She knows sit and hush, has learned lovely leash manners, is improving with housetraining, and uses pee pads overnight when needed. Her recreational interests include sunbathing and pursuing squirrels along the fence with the concentration of a tiny woman who has identified her nemesis.<br/><br/>Abby loves deeply once she trusts you. Then come the full-body wiggles, affection, devotion, and enthusiastic desire to remain in your general vicinity.<br/><br/>The important fine print: Abby does not appreciate being startled, grabbed, or unceremoniously relocated. She may snap when frightened or pushed past her comfort zone, so she needs an experienced, kid-free home where humans can read a room. At 16 pounds, she may be portable. She does not consider this permission.<br/><br/>She also struggles with long stretches alone, so someone home much of the day would suit her beautifully. She isn't destructive. She just prefers her favorite human to remain on the premises, which Abby considers a very reasonable staffing requirement.<br/><br/>Abby isn't difficult. She's specific.<br/><br/>Read the instructions, respect the tiny lady, and the wiggles are spectacular.<br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. <br/>*An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* <br/>All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).<br/><br/>The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.<br/>For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq<br/><br/>Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.<br/><br/>***Take Paws Rescue, based in New Orleans, saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
