I'm Adopted!!!

I'm so Happy!!

It's me, Abbey!  I found my Forever Family!!!  Can you believe it?  I'm so excited!

I was at Petsmart doing a Meet & Greet, and they just walked in and started talking to me (and loving me - gosh those girls are sweet) and asked some questions about me.  They needed a playmate for their doggy.  Well, let me bark - I'm the best playmate anyone or anyhound could have!  When they went to leave, the sweet girl who had been loving me got up to go and I cried - I didn't want her to leave!

I was bored at the Meet & Greet - Until my Forever Family found me!

They called when they got home and asked if they could bring their doggy to meet me.  Could they ever!  They came back with Eddie - quite possibly the most awesome dog ever.  Eddie and I got along instantly!  We both take our play really seriously and did we ever have a blast!

I needed to meet a couple of other family members, so we scheduled to meet up again on Sunday - and we all got along great!!

Here's our FAMILY Photo - 

My Forever Family!!

Isn't that great??  That's me and my new people sister (we're already the best of pals), and Mom, and Dad, and Sarah the matriarch dobie, and my new furbrother Eddie.  I love it!

Oh, you're wondering how I'm doing in my new home?  Ahem.  Awesome, what did you expect?

Here is a picture of me in the car - I love car rides!!!

I's ready - Let's go!!

And getting comfy...

yep, sure was hard to adjust...

And how am I getting along with my new doggie siblings?  Well, me and Sarah the dobie?  We might have laid down together and hung out last night.  Sounds pretty good to me.

Then there's Eddie.  What can I say?  He's the coolest brother EVER!!

Me and Eddie - Best Pals!

Thank you to everyone who helped this little stray dog along the path to find my Family!  All the staff and volunteers at the Humane Education Society (big shout out to my peeps!! Thanks, guys!), and to Uncle Chris and Auntie Kate for helping me get ready, and to HES for supporting the foster program.  And to each and every one of you who shared and liked my posts, who wished me well and prayed for me, who donated to help me get healthy, and who cheered me on in my search.  And thanks to Petsmart for helping doggies and kitties everywhere find their homes.

Most of all - thanks to my Family for choosing me.  I'm going to be the best doggie I can be!

Luv to all - I'll update when I can, but I'm looking ahead now at the rest of my happy life!

Love and Chocolaty Goodness,

Abbey

Status: Adopted!

It's Time!!

Comfy Abbey!

Hi Again!  It's me, Super Awesome Abbey!

Did you notice the little hint of pink on that picture?  No, not my tongue - silly!  Just behind my ear?  See it?  I got a new collar!  I LOVE IT!

Pink Pawprints!!

It's feminine without being too fru-fru, which fits my personality to a tee!

But we're not here today to talk about fashion, are we?  There's something more pressing on my mind.

It's time for me to get adopted.

If you've been reading My Story, you know I've been in foster care here with Uncle Chris and Auntie Kate for a couple of months and it's starting to feel like maybe nobody loves this puppy... that can't be right, can it?  It always seems like you love me on the Facebook Page.

I'm housetrained, crate trained, I know several obedience commands, I'm cute, I'm playful, I'm snuggly, and I love the outdoors - whether it's hanging out in the yard or going for nice walks or whatever.  What's not to love?

Movie Time...

People often wonder about "The Story" of a rescue dog, don't they?

Mine is pretty simple.  I've been in the shelter for over a year.  I wasn't very good on a leash.  And I'm a dark color and have features that aren't as attractive as some pretty tan retriever or something... Uncle Chris thought he might be able to help me find my Forever Family.

And now?  I've got an awesome harness that makes me a pretty darned good walker (I'm not perfect yet, but I'm working really hard to get there!), you've seen from my training videos how smart I am and how much fun I have learning new skills, and lately I've been showing off my snuggling skills with Uncle Chris and Auntie Kate!  I'm super sweet and am going to be the best dog ever with just a tiny little bit of guidance from you :-)

I like having my nose touch Uncle Chris...

So Sleepy... *Yawn* ...ZZZZzzZZZ

There's one other thing that makes it "TIME" for me to get adopted.  Uncle Chris took me into foster care knowing that I couldn't stay with them forever, but he was going to do his best - see, his work has him doing some travel and stuff that means I'm going to need to go back to the shelter soon.  None of us really want that.

I've come so far and learned so much - I don't want to go back to the shelter!  I want to go live happily ever after with my Forever Family.

So I need your help.  Please pass this far and wide.  Tell your friends and family and co-workers about Miss Super Cute Abbey.

And let's get me adopted, okay?

It's easy to get in touch - just send me a message on Facebook, or comment below, or contact the really nice people at www.heschatt.com.

Okay?  I look forward to hearing from you super soon!! I love you all...

Love and Chocolaty Goodness,

Abbey

PS - here's one more video, just for fun!  Just me chilling out in the shade on my walk.  I decided I'd like to relax a bit on the cool concrete...
