Abigail is back at the shelter through no fault of her own. 💔
She recently went home with a family who absolutely loved her. They told us she was housebroken, crate trained, could be left alone, and did amazing with everyone she met, including young children.
Unfortunately, they discovered their daughter was allergic to her. We know that couldn't have been an easy decision, and our hearts go out to them.
The good news? Abigail got glowing reviews. She showed everyone exactly what we've been saying all along: she's a sweet, easygoing dog who is more than ready for a home.
Now she just needs to find the right one. ❤️
We can’t help but celebrate! 🎉 🥰
Have the best life Gator!!!
Here’s to hoping 🍯🐝
