About this Dog
Abby is a stunning Rottweiler that is estimated to be 2 1/2 years old and weighs 65lbs. Abby and her puppies were surrendered to a rural shelter in August 2023 when the puppies were only 4 weeks old. Animal control did a welfare check and found Abby living outside in a pen with a huge sore around her neck from an embedded collar and the owners were unable to afford her medical care. One of our volunteers wanted to help immediately and agreed to foster Abby and her puppies. All of Abby's puppies have since been adopted, but it was clear that Abby had never been properly socialized or received any kind of training. She did great with her original foster with house manners and was friendly with people, but she lacked confidence and wasn't sure how to play, walk, or interact around other dogs. BFPA decided it would be best to send her to an eight-week positive reinforcement training program to help develop her confidence and learn how to be a "dog". We are happy to report that she did amazing in training and is ready for adoption! Feedback from her training is that Abby is loyal, loving, and eager to please. Her willingness to make her handler happy is unmatched. Abby has great recall, offers sits for permission and has done great with strangers in and out of the home. She is very food and treat motivated and takes treats gently and respectfully. She loves to work for her food! Abby has been conditioned to her crate and all she needs to do to be told "kennel up" with a finger point to the crate and she goes in. She sometimes can get stressed for being crated for long periods of time, so a home that doesn't have long working hours would be best for her. Abby's ideal home would also have a fenced in yard (but not required), a foster/ adopter that is willing to continue with her training which BFPA will help with, and no other pets. Abby is dog selective and seems to tolerate calm dogs her size or smaller, but she doesn't really show any interest in wanting to interact. Dogs that are higher energy, barky, or ones that show signs of anxiety/ nervousness tend to cause her to react. If there is another dog(s) in the home, we would have to evaluate if they are a good fit and be with someone that is experienced with dog behavior. Abby was tested with a kitty early on. While she wasn't aggressive with the cat, she did seem overly interested and we would need to make sure there was a way to keep the cat(s) separate until trusted. Abby has also lived with kids and would be ok with older children 12+ that are able to respect boundaries. Do you have the right home for Abby? She wants to be part of a loving family. She has come a long way from her miserable life before Best Friend Pet Adoption saved her. Could you provide a wonderful life for Abby? She will give you plenty of love in return. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. We would also like to provide assistance in her training which would occur in the Raleigh area. For the right match for Abby, we will consider applicants who live a bit further away.

Adopt Abby and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Abby's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Abby's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Abby, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Abby's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Abby was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Abby’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Abby’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Abby’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
