Abe Update – May 4, 2009

 I’m a tall, lean boy, and now closer to 6 years old and living in a new foster home with several other dogs. I’d really like to play with the other Dane that lives here, but he won’t have it…the big ol’ grump! Guess I’ll just have to settle for playing ring-around-the-living-room-furniture with the resident Puggle.  

 I’m completely housebroken and no longer have to stay in a crate, but make sure to remove any treats, loaves of bread, or any food items from the kitchen counters, because I’m a smart cookie and an opportunist. I’m tall enough that my chin easily rests on a standard countertop, so obtaining these things is very easy for me. Oh, and don’t worry about forgetting to feed me, because I know what time I’m supposed to eat and will remind you!  

Since I’m getting up there in age, I’ve slowed down a bit, and am pretty much a couch potato. In fact, that’s where I am 90% of the time, and boy do I love it there! I know my basic commands very well and make an excellent alert dog, even in my sleep! I’m quick to hear any sound that’s out of place…and even ones that aren’t out of place. I play catch really well, love attention, and when I don’t think I’m being paid enough attention, will ask for it by laying my head on your shoulder or lap or arm or whatever happens to be there.

I’ve been in foster care for a very long time and am more than ready to find my forever home. My only want in life is to be loved by a family who can look past my age and see me for the loving, velcro dog that I am! Are you the home I’ve been waiting for?

When all said and done, my medical costs to rescue will be $100 If you want to help but can't adopt please consider donating to my medical bills. It will help me and those who come after me if my bills are paid.
