Abel's Story

Meet Abel!<br/><br/>Abel is a stunning Dogo Argentino with a big presence and an even bigger heart. This sweet, affectionate boy is a total lovebug who wants nothing more than to be close to his person. He forms deep bonds and loves with his whole soul.<br/><br/>Abel is smart, curious, and eager to learn. He has a fast recall, is quick to go potty, and picks up on new things easily. While he can be a bit picky with treats, he never turns down a good chew toy, especially a collagen chew. He loves car rides, gives the sweetest kisses, and even offers gentle “hugs” that perfectly match his tender personality.<br/><br/>He does experience some separation anxiety, which comes from how strongly he attaches to his humans. He thrives in a home where he can have companionship, structure, and reassurance.<br/><br/>Abel can be selective with other dogs. While he has done well with some, he does not tolerate even small signs of tension or “micro-aggressions” from other dogs. Because of this, he would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can feel secure and have all the love and attention to himself.<br/><br/>Abel naturally carries himself like a protector and is deeply loyal to his people. He is looking for a home that understands his need for connection and will give him the stability he deserves.<br/><br/>Abel was saved from a euthanasia list in Houston, Texas, and has shown nothing but love and gratitude toward every human he meets.<br/><br/>He is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and has been maintained on heartworm prevention. He is available for out-of-state transport to the right adopter.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who will bond deeply and stay by your side, Abel could be your perfect match. Please reach out to schedule a FaceTime meet and greet and learn more about bringing him home.
