About Little Ann

Little Ann is a gentle, easy-going senior who’s looking for a calm, loving home.

Though Little Ann and Radar are close, she’s also content as an only pet if given plenty of attention and affection. She may seem shy at first, but she quickly warms up and reveals her sweet personality. Little Ann enjoys barking at wildlife with her buddy and would be happy in a home with any size yard, though she does need frequent potty breaks. She’s house trained, adapts well, and shows courage despite her size. Little Ann gets along with other dogs and is hoping for a stable place to relax and settle down in Westminster, MD.
