We believe Abigail was living on her own for a while. Her coat was in very poor condition and she had a lot of ticks. We have placed her in a foster home where she is being very well fed and getting lots of daily exercise and brushing. She is very gentle and so far has made almost no noise. She has some leash manners and knows sit- she must have belonged to someone- but we have had no success in finding her people.  We have also learned that she is fine with other dogs- in fact the little ones make her nervous so she just shys away from them.
