Annemarie is a ten-year-old beagle mix who landed in a shelter east of Houston and didn’t deserve to stay there a day longer. She came in heartworm positive and carrying a few extra pounds, so she's spent the last few months slimming down and regaining her spark. Her short tricolor coat and quirky look make her stand out, but it’s her personality that wins people over. She’s got solid house manners and respects boundaries, never poking around where she shouldn’t. Annemarie loves to chew the fuzz off tennis balls, so expect some yellow remnants scattered around as evidence of her hobby. She enjoys chasing and keeping her canine housemates in line and shows her affectionate side by grooming any dog that lets her. Although she can be a bit bossy or grabby at times, her gentle ways shine through, and she generally gets along with everyone—including kids and other dogs. Her favorite place is wherever her person is. Annemarie suits a home with someone whose pace matches hers—not too active, but willing to commit to daily walks to keep her in shape. She’s looking for a soft spot to land and someone who appreciates an old gal with spunk. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
