Three years ago, we made the best decision in
deciding to adopt another ESS. Zoey then came to us and is the BEST dog
ever. She is not only beautiful but so well behaved and is loved by
everyone. We can't thank MAESSR and Debbie enough for giving us Zoey. Judy Minnick, NJ

Abbott's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original:
“Very good when company comes over, Abbott lets her
foster family know someone is at the door but greets them with that sweet
wiggle butt!”
When Abbott’s owners in
North Carolina had another baby and moved into a condo with no yard, they felt
it better to rehome her so she could have a yard and owners who could give her
all the attention she craves. So, to have these wishes come true, Abbott
became a MAESSR girl.
Abbott’s foster home
includes a 3 year old resident male and at first he and Abbott had a touchy
relationship. However, by the third day, they were in sync with each
other and are getting along fine. She does like to protect her food bowl
when it is filled with her dinner, but she does not guard her snacks or the
shared water bowl. Abbott is a great eater and reminds her people when
it’s dinner time! She is polite about not begging for food while her
foster parents are eating. Good girl! There are no resident cats in
her foster home so it is unknown how Abbott would react to felines.
Housetrained, Abbott lets
her people know she has to go outside to relieve herself by going to the
door. This little lady is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night.
With nice house manners, she will not jump on furniture or chew on anything
inappropriate.
Great with commands, Abbott
knows “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” Her recall is GREAT!
She walks every evening with her foster family, side-by-side with
the resident male. She will bark at a passing dog but does not pull her
person toward the dog. In the car, Abbott is a great passenger as long as
she has a blanket to lie on; otherwise, she will stand for the whole ride.
Abbott loves to be outside
in the sun! She is always up for play! Her favorite toys are her
Kong and tennis balls!!! She plays hard like a puppy but when it’s
done, she is happy and rests. Since she is such a hard chewer, her foster
mom recommends tough toys for her.
Very good when company comes
over, Abbott lets her foster family know someone is at the door but greets them
with that sweet wiggle butt! There are no children in her foster family
and it was reported that she was not keen on the toddler and baby in her
original home. Older children who know how to interact properly with a
dog and who would play with her and would love on her would probably be fine in
her forever family. Abbot was wonderful with the groomer and the
vet.
Her foster parents think
Miss Abbott’s forever home should be a place with a fenced yard and owners who
are home most of the time. She could easily be an only dog in the house
since she can take over, wanting her people all to herself so she can get as
much love and affection as she
can!
Because she has been fully
trained, there isn’t much to do but love on this girl. All you would have
to do is give her love, attention, belly rubs, and be ready to receive lots of
kisses.
