Adopt Abi

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Abi is a true ray of sunshine and the happiest staffy we’ve ever encountered! She radiates joy and is excited to greet everyone she meets. When she first arrived, she was quite shy and confused, but it didn’t take long for her to realise that our sanctuary is a joyful place. Now completely settled into foster, she is loving life! This sweet girl thrives on human interaction and, in our view, cherishes cuddles above all else! She truly is a cuddle monster who deserves the comforts of a loving home! The below write up is from her current foster parents 🙂 “Abi is a true tonic. She is full of energy and love and enjoys plays and cuddles equally. She settled into our home, and made it her own as soon as she arrived. Her first night, she stayed alone on the sofa without any hesitation. We did keep an eye on her through the camera, but she slept soundly all night, as she has every night since. Abi is fantastic on the lead, she is steady and confident. She stays calmly still to have her harness on, and goes to it when she knows it’s walk time. We have tried her on a long lead, 25m, but not too often, due to her leg. Gareth (partner) has trained her with a clicker, and she comes running each time she hears it. She has also learned to sit, paw, lay down and roll over. Though we do have some trouble with beg as she is unable to steady herself due to her muscles!! When playing, Abi is rather boisterous, and is very strong. She can be quite overpowering, so I don’t believe she would be suitable for young or delicate children. She does it playfully, never with aggression. When not playing, Abi wants nothing more than cuddles on the sofa, and she is the most affectionate little girl. Abi absolutely loves her food. She is on a mix of dry and wet, and thoroughly enjoys natural treats. She is very calm around other dogs and people, and doesn’t seem phased by them. Although, there was an instance of altercatation between her and another female who was in season. It didn’t become physical, but I believe if they weren’t on leads, it could have. Abi is also surprisingly a very quiet dog. We didn’t hear her bark for the first few weeks, and since, there has only been a couple of times, and for no obvious reason. All in all, Abi is an absolute darling of a girl.
