My story

Abby C. is a sensitive, thoughtful girl (not yet 2 years old) who does best in a calm, predictable environment. She prefers women to men and would thrive in an all-female home or with a very patient, understanding male. Abby is not a good fit for a home with children and needs time and space to adjust to new people and surroundings. But don’t mistake her timidity for lack of energy. She gets excited when she’s with her favorite person and becomes a total goofball, complete with zoomies and tail-chasing.  In boarding,  Abby did well in a group of dogs, though she generally prefers to keep to herself rather than be the center of attention. She would be happy as an only dog or with a canine companion who can match her energy. Abby C. is best suited for someone willing to go slow, earn her trust, and appreciate a dog who forms deep bonds once she feels secure. To apply to adopt, please complete an application at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application using a laptop or desktop computer.  If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG! U.S. shelter and adoption estimates 2012 3,500—Number of animal shelters •  6-8 million—Number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year 25 percent—Percentage of purebred dogs in shelters •  3-4 million—Number cats and dogs adopted from shelters each year 2.7 million—Number of adoptable cats and dogs euthanized in shelters each year 25% of dogs in shelters are pure bred - that's 1 in 4! March 15, 2026, 11:55 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Abby C., please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
