Female Dog, Rottweiler
Rottweiler / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Abby is a stunning Rottweiler that is estimated to be 3 years old and weighs 65lbs. After a rough start in life, she is now searching for her forever home. Abby was never socialized properly prior to finding her way into Best Friend Pet Adoption. She has since been through an intensive 8 week positive training program and did very well. Feedback from her training program is that Abby is loyal, loving, and eager to please. She is very food and treat motivated. She loves to work for her food! Abby enjoys her nosework training to enrich her life. Abby is now being fostered by an experienced dog person who has continued to work with her training and confidence. She is crate trained, leash trained and house broken. She needs a fenced yard and ideally some additional walks during the day. She has been crated for up to 4 hours. Abby is currently living successfully with two male Rotties with low energy. She will not do well with high energy dogs and would do best as an only dog with an experienced, responsible owner. Having previous experience with Rottie's would be beneficial. Abby would not do well in a home with cats or with a first time dog owner. When around new people, Abby prefers to be ignored and then will approach and engage with them. Abby has lived with kids and would be ok with older children 12+ that are able to respect boundaries. Could your home be the right fit for Abby? She has come a long way from her miserable life before Best Friend Pet Adoption saved her. Could you provide a wonderful life for Abby? She will give you plenty of love in return. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Abby and her 6 puppies were surrendered to a rural shelter in August 2023 when the puppies were only 4 weeks old. Animal control did a welfare check and found Abby living outside in a pen with a huge sore around her neck from an embedded collar. One of our volunteers wanted to help immediately and agreed to foster Abby and her puppies. The puppies have all been adopted and now it is Abby's turn to fine a wonderful home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no further than one hour from Cary NC.
