Abby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Abby
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Wetumpka, Alabama, USA
 
   This is Abby. I'm not exactly sure what breed mix she is, but my best guess is English Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix. She resides with me and my seven other dogs in Wetumpka, Alabama.

    Abby was rescued from the shelter when she was about four months old. I just began a new job there after volunteering for several months. She came in a couple of weeks before I started. I don't know what drew me to her. When I first started, I didn't really even pay attention to her. The day I did, I was in love. She was the absolute sweetest dog there. I tried to get her a home, but no one wanted her. She was in an awkward puppy stage, so everyone thought she was ugly. I couldn't let anything happen to her, on her scheduled day of euthanasia, I brought her home to foster. She never left. Abby is a wonderful soul. She loves anyone and everyone she meets. Everyone who has met Abby has fallen in love with her. She is very gentle with children in particular. She has yet to meet a child she didn't love. Abby is special because of her huge heart and her love for life.
