Little Abhi is a very gentle soul who is just beginning to learn what love and safety feel like. He came from a hoarding situation where he did not get much one-on-one attention, petting, or handling, so new experiences can be scary for him at first. When picked up, he may tremble, and sudden movements can make him uneasy, but with patience and kindness, his true personality shines through.
Abhi does best with a soft-spoken, calm person who understands that trust takes time. Once he feels safe, he is incredibly sweet. If you place him on the couch or bed while you are nearby, he will happily stay close, and when he warms up, he will roll over to show his belly for gentle rubs. Slow movements and a peaceful environment help him feel comfortable and secure.
He is still working on house training and has had a few accidents, so he will need a patient adopter or foster willing to help him learn. Outside, Abhi will potty, but he is nervous and may try to find places to hide, so a doggy playpen or secure area is recommended until he gains confidence.
Abhi has met other dogs and a cat. He may initially react if another dog gets too much in his space, but he settles quickly and does well with calm, respectful dogs. He would thrive in a home with a mellow canine companion or as an only dog, and older, considerate children who understand giving him space.
Abhi is truly a sweet little guy who just needs time, love, and reassurance to blossom. With patience, he will reward you with quiet companionship and a heart full of gratitude.
Abhi is up to date on vaccines. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. His adoption fee is $450.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.
