Abel was surrendered to the Care Centers following two bite incidents in his previous home. He was also reported to resource guard his toys and growl and bark when his paws were touched. In the Care Centers, Abel has displayed fearful behaviors, escalating to baring his teeth when staff attempted to remove him from his kennel for a medical exam. However, he has shown a willingness to accept treats when approached slowly. Despite these concerns, his previous owner described him as social with strangers and children. Medically, Abel has dental disease and otitis externa. Abel was brought to ACC as an owner surrender following a bite incident. In his previous home, Abel has been described as an easygoing couch potato and is happiest when he's lounging by your side and soaking up all the love and cuddles you have to offer. When he's ready to stretch his legs, Abel enjoys going for walks and playing with a good, tough rope toy. He's also a great passenger who loves car rides! Abel knows cues like sit, stay, down, and off, and he's comfortable spending time in his crate.
