Abby is a 5 year old English Toy Spaniel, a retired breeder.  She is timid, but friendly. She loves everyone but forms a special bond with one person - usually the first person in the family that she meets. She is timid with other people but warms up to them quickly. She does fine in her foster home with three other small dogs. She can growl if she thinks another dog is trying to get to the person giving her affection, but it doesn't usually progress farther than a warning and she stops when corrected.  This behavior has gotten much better as her vision has improved. 

 

Abby has dry eye and her eyes were in very bad condition when she arrived.  After treatment, she is doing much better and we believe she has some vision.  She is receiving Optimune for her eyes and will need that ongoing along with over the counter moisture drops or gel. It is also helpful to rinse her eyes daily with saline solution to remove residue before adding more gel or drops.  It keeps the eye healthy. 

 

Her housebreaking is still a work in progress.  She knows to potty when taken outside, but if not given regular opportunities every couple hours will have accidents, although they are always near the door to the back yard.  Her accidents have improved with the addition of Proin a medication for incontinence which is common in older gals who have had many pups. 

 

She does fine left alone in the house and is not crated.  She is currently sleeping in the bed with her human foster siblings.  She will need training to use a leash.  She resists it and pulls in the opposite direction.  She has learned to use stairs. 

 

Abby is in the Knoxville area.  She requires a securely fenced yard, a canine companion and ongoing care for her eyes.  Breed experience with English Toy Spaniels is preferred.  Please complete an application if you are interested in this sweet girl, then contact Mary Coyne, mary401339@aol.com.  We do not ship dogs or support long distant adoptions.
