ABAGAIL
The most faithful 7 yr old chocolate Lab you will ever find
Good at obedience skills, great walker and in excellent health. You would never know that this girl is 7 years old. She hops, jumps, runs and plays fetch like a puppy. Her mature side also makes her just as easy to settle on her pillow in the house. She is completely housebroken and ready to enjoy.
So why is she on the bad dog list?
It had something to do with the family cat. Apparently there was an incident and the cat didn’t make it. In my opinion not a good reason to through away a loving dog that you have had for 7 years; but, I wasn’t the one that abandoned her.
She also does not like to be bothered by other dogs. She is OK with them being around and she will ignore them when she is out for a walk. But she draws the line at them getting in her face. She has not had any real fights but will not hesitate to give them a snap on the nose if they irritate her. She lived with another dog in her last home so we are not sure why she has developed this habit. My guess is she was raised with the other dog and therefore was used to it, but she was not properly socialized with dogs outside the home.
Abagail would do well as a companion for an older person without other pets in the house or a family without small children (below age 8). She was never in a home with small children so we do not know if she is trustworthy.
