Abba
Beautiful Abba has come to us from a breeder and is now searching for her loving forever home. This sweet girl is very timid and will often run away in the kennel, but once scooped into your arms, she begins to relax and enjoys a gentle stroke. She has a quietly curious soul and loves to sit and watch the world go by, but humans are still not her favourite just yet. She will need adopters who understand that everything is new to her and who can give her the time, patience, and kindness she needs to blossom.
Abba will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home where she can settle in at her own pace. She can be quite worried about handling, especially if she doesn't know you well and does have the potential to panic and make the wrong decision, so it's vital her new family go slowly with her as she starts to settle in and build her confidence and trust.
Abba has never lived in a home before, so her new family will need to gently guide her as she learns about house training and adjusts to the sights, sounds, and routines of home life. A kind and confident resident dog is essential to help her learn the ropes and to show her that people can be kind. She absolutely loves the company of other dogs, enjoys playing with them, and is very food motivated, which will help with her training and confidence building.
Abba doesn’t yet know how to walk on a lead and has only just started harness training. She will need lots more practice before she is ready to explore the outside world, so a secure garden is important while she learns. She would benefit from an active home with adopters who are happy to help her gradually build her confidence and discover how lovely life can be.
Abba has already spent too long in kennels. Although she has learnt to enjoy toys, treats, and the fun side of life with her kennel friends, she really deserves the chance to start her happy ever after. With time, patience, and the reassurance of a doggy friend, Abba has the potential to become the wonderful companion she was always meant to be.
