Adopt a American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

I'm Abigale, (Abby for short) I Love to snuggle, lay in your lap and go on walks. Once I didn’t know what grass was - it scared me! But now I love it so much I turn over on my back and wiggle in it. I used to walk with my tail between my legs, but now I’m so happy I strut my beautiful self when we go on walks.

You see, I had it rough for the first 2 years of my life. When my foster mom found me I was covered in blood and had major skin infections; my toenails were so long they curled under and had grown into my pads. I had surgery because my infection was so deep it had to be taken out surgically! Dr. Carter ran tests and found there were only a few antibiotics that would help cure me. I’m also eating a special food, probably for the rest of my life. I want to be with my humans so much that I have a little separation anxiety.

Fast forward 3 months… my foster mom noticed I was limping a bit and whimpered once while getting up. She took me back to Dr. Carter, who x-rayed me and told me I have “Lumbo-Sacral Disease”, but tells me the pain can be controlled with medicine. My x-rays also showed I’d been shot with a BB gun! The BB’s are still inside, and my little tail has been broken and healed back. It’s a little crooked - but I am still very pretty, it just makes me “special”.

Despite all I have been through, I love people and want a loving parent that I can love and adore. I snore when I sleep. (My foster mom thinks it cute.) I am good with other dogs yet I like to be the center of attention so I push other dogs out of the way. Cats, they’re another story, I just don't like them. My foster mommy is teaching me the "leave it" command whenever I see a cat, I am getting better at walking past them but don't want them around me. If you are looking for a friend to snuggle with, to go on walks with (so we can exercise together) and to also lay on the couch and watch TV together… then I am the girl for you.

If you feel your home might be the right place for such a great dog - the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt. Once submitted, the foster will contact you promptly to tell you more and to arrange a time to meet!

The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Abigale is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster, not by DFWRM.
