About Orphan Annie
Orphan Annie earned her name after being discovered alone on a hiking trail, staying put just long enough for rescue. She has the classic look and temperament of a Stubby Tail Cattle Dog, with all the drive and spark you'd expect from an Australian Cattle Dog. Annie is highly active and always engaged, with energy that shifts from restful sleep to flat-out action in a blink. In true herding dog fashion, she likes to direct movement with little nips, which means she isn't right for homes with young children. Annie shines brightest with a real purpose—her highest potential comes out when her mind and body are both at work. Give Annie a job and she goes all in, eager to learn and quick to bond with her person. She's sharp and adaptable, built for endurance tasks like agility or herding, and she's happiest when challenged and praised. Annie is a compact dog with a ton of determination, ready to become a true working or adventure partner. She is fully vetted, microchipped, spayed, and stays up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Fun fact: born January 19th, Annie is a Capricorn, so you can expect plenty of discipline and drive. She gets along well with other dogs but does not do well with cats or young children. She needs someone who can keep her busy, respect her herding instincts, and truly make her part of active, everyday life. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
