About Abby

Adoption Fee: $50
Belgian Malinois mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

I found Abby last year at an abandoned house where she had been left alone. She is, now, kennel trained, house broke, and knows basic commands: sit, lay down, kennel. She is not quite 2 years old. She still has some anxiety from having been abandoned and needs a stable home to keep the anxiety from being expressed. She has come a very long way in this past year. I would love nothing more than to keep her. However, I live in Brazil most of the time as a missionary and it is impossible to take her with me. Airlines are not transporting dogs her size since COVID and I cannot afford the thousands of dollars it costs to fly her through a pet transport carrier each time. (plus all the paperwork it takes for international clearance) We live in a small town in Texas on the border of Oklahoma and I could not find a home for her last year - and then, I quickly fell in love with this smart, silly, and oh so sweet girl. Thinking that I would be in Texas more in the next years, I left her with my parents. I had hoped they could keep her until I am back in the USA more full time. She gets along with and plays really well with their other dogs, however, she does need a little more one on one attention than my parents can give her. She is still pretty young with a Malinois energy level, curiosity, and need for stimulation. As my parents are older and a little forgetful it has not made this a good pairing for this good girl. She could stay here, but she would be happier with more human attention and interaction. I think she would make a superstar of a service animal, emotional support pet, and I know she is the queen of sweet dogs. (of course I might be a little biased and am not a professional dog trainer. I know very little and am by no means a dog expert) I hope to find her a good home with people who will love her, train her, and enjoy the sweetest dog ever. She is really smart and learns commands fast. She wants to please and earn her treats and ear and belly rubs. She is happiest when she has interaction with her people. She can be a velcro dog - following her person around. But, she is also great at playing with other dogs. Abby is a happy girl and loves attention.She wants to please and is not an alpha. She will lay down and let another dog - or person - be the pack leader. Due to the anxiety if she is left without attention for a long time, she has been known to chew and dig. However, with stimulation and attention she does not chew or dig. I have worked for hours on my computer with her contentedly laying beside me. If she can touch her people, she is not anxious. She can be left outside with another dog to play with (fenced in of course) and she does great! She is just not a solo kind of pup. She needs company. I want her to have a home where she can receive all the love, attention, play, and companionship that a good girl like her should have.
