First of all, how old is "Jackabee"? If he's still less than a year old, it could be because he's still a pup the bladders of steel haven't grown yet. Taking him for potty breaks more often can help.
What kind of abuse did he go through? Did they hurt him or physically maltreat him? Dogs who've experienced neglect can often be scared easily. They can also end up doing submissive urination. If this is the case, you might want to try boosting his self esteem a little. Tug toys can do a good job of making a dog confident. However, be wary that tug toys can also cause dominance. Fortunately, "Jackabee" pup is a small breed. Nonetheless, make sure to maintain a structured lifestyle and continue to provide him with exercise, discipline, playtime and affection.
