My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Abel is a tall 2 year old boxer mix, with long soft ears. He has gotten along well with both of our other foster dogs and with a friend’s dog who we dog-sat over Thanksgiving weekend. However, he has started to bark at other dogs that we encounter on our daily walks. Other than that, he has pretty good leash manners, often walking with slack in the leash. He does stop to watch the squirrels and sometimes tries to climb up after them.

Abel loves and wants to meet every human that he encounters. He cuddles on the couch with us, lays his head in our lap, and has us pet him all over. Sometimes he rolls over and raises both of his front paws sky-high to request a belly rub.

Abel is crate trained and goes into his crate on command practically every night. Abel is housebroken, but has had about three urinary accidents while we’ve been learning his tells to go outside. He is altered and up to date on shots. If you would like to meet Abel, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $225.

Adoption fee includes:
- microchip
- spay/neuter
- age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies
- heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive
