About Annie

Annie spent time fending for herself on the streets of Beverly Hills—hungry, scared, and not sure where to turn—until a kind stranger reached out and brought some warmth back into her world. At her foster home, Annie quickly found comfort, daily meals, and a canine buddy for play and company. These days she soaks up affection, adores human attention, and is always down for a long walk or an energetic romp with another friendly dog. Annie doesn’t bark much (really, almost not at all), but she’ll give a happy howl if there's something delicious on the way. She’s picked up new training skills and actually enjoys learning tricks, especially when treats are involved. Annie is a gentle, loyal soul who gets along beautifully with other dogs and children, though she’s not a fan of cats. She does best with people who’ll give her hugs, belly rubs, and a stable dose of daily love. This girl would thrive with someone ready to return her devotion—and maybe with another doggie pal to tag along at the park. Annie is looking for the kind of home where it’s perfectly normal to show a lot of love, take in a little sunshine, and linger together in safe, happy moments. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
