Abi
About me
- Can I live with other dogs? Potentially - Abi loves spending time with Ruby, a staff member's spaniel, and they often go on walks together. For successful applicants, a meet and greet at our location with their dog and Abi will be required.
- Can I live with teenagers? Yes
- Can I live with young children? No - Given our limited understanding of Abi's previous home environment and her energetic, staffy nature, it would be most suitable to rehome her in a household with older children only.
- Do I have any medical issues? Potentially - When Abi first joined us, she had a problem with one of her back legs, making it difficult for her to bear weight and causing her discomfort. She has been fully examined by a vet, who found no significant underlying issues. After ample rest and only on lead walks (no off lead activity), her leg has shown remarkable improvement, and her limp is now barely noticeable. Abi has a final check up at the vet on March 19th to determine if she can be medically cleared or if any further treatment is needed.
- Can I live with cats? No - We have no information on whether Abi has ever lived with a cat before, therefore, a cat free home is preferred.
- Am I good on the lead? Yes - Abi excels at walking on a loose lead and consistently checks in with her handler. She loves going for walks with her two spaniel friends, Ruby and Spike!
- What was the reason for my surrender? Abi's previous owners were unable to afford the potential veterinary costs if her rear leg issue required surgery, leading them to request that their vet euthanise her. However, the vet, who is part of our panel, was unwilling to proceed with that. They then reached out to us for assistance.
- What am I like when I travel in a vehicle? Abi travels very well without issue, inside of a crate in a van type vehicle. She was very relaxed for the short trip.
Abi is a true ray of sunshine and the happiest staffy we’ve ever encountered! She radiates joy and is excited to greet everyone she meets. When she first arrived, she was quite shy and confused, but it didn’t take long for her to realise that our sanctuary is a joyful place. She is now completely settled in. This sweet girl thrives on human interaction and, in our view, cherishes cuddles above all else! She truly is a cuddle monster who deserves the comforts of a loving home!
