Pet of the Week: Scruffy and cute, Abner
SUMMARY: Abner, a 5-6 year old Yorkie terrier mix, is the Mobile SPCA’s pet of the week. Despite his scruffy appearance, with lighter hair at the ends and a graying body, he is described as a sweet, calm dog. Abner enjoys being in people’s laps, seeks attention, and is good with other small dogs. He might be house-trained and is an ideal companion for those looking for a mild-mannered, affectionate pet. Abner’s unique appearance and loving nature make him a great candidate for adoption. For more information, visit WKRG.com to apply.
