Abner is a basset, collie, daschund mix who was rescued from death row by the Humane Society of Pulaski County (HSPC), a no-kill shelter in Little Rock, Arkansas. My husband and I agreed to foster him until he was adopted into his forever home. He was adopted twice, but pined so much for us that his new parents had to call us to come and get him. He wanted to be with us, so we decided to adopt him ourselves. He is now the official humane education dog for HSPC and has visited with over 1,500 children and 25 schools in the Little Rock area teaching compassion for all living things. I've never met a more friendly and outgoing dog, and he loves everyone. Sometimes he is completely surrounded by children touching and petting him, and he just rolls over for a belly rub. I am so thankful to HSPC for saving his life. What a terrible waste it would have been had he been euthanized. Abner has a purpose in life, and he is fulfilling it to the max!
