We are fostering Abby for the National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue Network (www.nasrn.com). We just picked her up today (2-9-07) and are still getting to know her but she appears to be calm and well behaved at this point. She loaded up in the truck by herself and seem to know "sit." She weighed 74.5 pounds at the shelter and is spayed and estimated at three plus years old.

Update March 8, 2007: Abby came down with a respiratory ailment but antibiotics cleared that up and she has a lot of energy and a good appetite. She will sit, shake, sort-of stay, crates on the "go to bed" command, and seems to be a house dog. She loves companionship and is quite affectionate. She sometimes lets her excitement overwhelm her desire to follow commands but on balance is a sweet and loving girl.

Update: We adopted Abby in 2011 before losing her after a lengthy and frustrating illness.
