Abby

Meet Abby. She is a one year old Anatolian Shepherd mix with a sweet, silly, and happy personality. She loves being around people, enjoys exploring outside, and is always ready to make you smile. Abby would do really well with a family who has a yard and a bit more space, since she enjoys having room to roam and relax.

We’re heartbroken to rehome her, but we had to move to New York City for work and our new place just isn’t big enough for her. She deserves a home where she can be comfortable and enjoy the outdoor space she’s used to.

If you’re looking for a gentle, joyful companion, Abby is a wonderful dog who will bring a lot of love into her new home.
