Abbie

Hello there! I'm Abbie, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Abbie
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/k5HxRn8S2craMw6m6 

My Ideal Home:
• I'll need regular exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction..
• Secure fencing is essential to keep me safe.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• I have previously lived with young children.
• When I get excited, I can be a little bouncy, so any children in the home would need to feel comfortable and confident around an enthusiastic dog joining the family.
• I approach other dogs with a lot of bravado, if they are ok I am ok but I will retaliate back at them if they react negatively to me. I am best suited as an only dog until i have further training/socialisation in a controlled environment and learn to approach other dogs in an appropriate & respectful way.
• I am not suited to homes with cats or small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, or ducks as they would be very fun to chase.

My Paw-some Perks:
• I am a happy pup with the cutest little wiggle-butt when I'm excited.
• I know how to sit
• I appear housetrained and am used to being allowed indoors as part of the family.
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I'm quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I love nothing more than sitting or laying at your feet and soaking up alllllll the love!
• I can be so calm & relaxed at times and then super wiggly & exuberant at other times; the perfect mix

Training & Support Needs:
• As mentioned above I approach other dogs with a lot of bravado, if they are ok I am ok but I will retaliate back at them if they react negatively to me. Further training/socialisation in a controlled environment to learn how to approach other dogs in an appropriate & respectful way is recommended.
• I can pull quite strongly on the lead when wanting to get somewhere. A gentle leader harness or halti would be ideal for me as well as more on leash training. I like to get down low & go go go!!
