Description:
Meet Abner! He’s an older fellow. He has great teeth, which made us think he was younger…but the rest of him seems a bit older. He was de-barked at some point in his past, and this has left him with more of a honk than a bark.
Abner's not fast-moving, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing either. He moves steadily and has a nice little gait on leashed walks (which he loves!) He could use a few more of those walks too, as he’s a bit overweight right now. Abner is friendly to everyone. Kids, other dogs, and every person he has met are all welcomed. He enjoys following his people around to see what they’re up to, and likes to be in the same room with everyone. He is close to being housetrained, and won’t take much more work to become 100 percent perfect in that regard. Regular walks help a lot, and he doesn’t pull on the leash at all. If you are looking for a low-energy cuddler who is determined to be your friend, Eeyore is for you. If you’re looking for a high-energy guard dog, just keep looking- this isn’t your guy. He needs a friend and a family to relax with. Is it you?
*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.
*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
