Abby is a delicate little Goldendoodle who has just begun her new life as a cherished pet after being released from breeding. She’s shy, cautious, and still figuring out the world — but every day she shows more curiosity, more bravery, and more tail wags. Soft voices, slow movements, and sweet baby talk are quickly becoming her comfort zone.

Although Abby is still nervous, we truly believe she will blossom even faster in her forever home, surrounded by consistent love, patience, and understanding.

Personality & Daily Life

Abby has a gentle, sweet nature. She startles easily with loud noises or quick movements, but she has zero aggression — her reactions are purely fear-based avoidance. With steady reassurance, she’s making meaningful progress in trusting people and settling into daily routines.

Dog Friends & Socialization

Abby absolutely lights up around other dogs. She loves outdoor play and gains confidence by following her canine friends. A confident, friendly resident dog will be incredibly important in helping her continue to grow and feel secure.

Learning & Home Requirements

Abby is still new to typical pet life and needs a home committed to slow, positive guidance.

Not leash trained

Fully fenced yard required (no invisible fences)

Considered a flight risk, especially early on

Best suited for a calm, patient home with no young children

Home Life

Abby is crated when her foster family is away for safety, but otherwise enjoys free run of the house. She is still working on house-training and will go outside when following other dogs, though she isn’t confident enough to go independently yet. Overnight, she uses pee pads.

Abby’s Perfect Match

Abby needs a peaceful home, a secure fenced yard, and a loving adopter who understands that trust takes time. With patience, kindness, and a steady canine companion, Abby will continue her transformation from timid to thriving — and sooner rather than later. She may start off quiet and unsure, but she has so much love waiting for the right person to discover.

Abby is spayed, up to date with core vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $475

We require that a martingale collar be used at the time of adoption. If you do not have a martingale collar, you can purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10. This requirement is in place to ensure the dog's safety and security.
