About Annie
Annie is a loyal sidekick who’s become a pro at being out and about with her foster mom—she even has her own Crocs for hot pavement. She travels easily, walks nicely on leash, and does her business outside with no fuss. Annie is fine with cats, but she’s not interested in making canine friends—it’s best if she’s the only dog. If another dog is around, she’ll coexist quietly but won’t bond with them. Annie’s past is rough: handed off to a stranger and left by her previous owner, she went into panic mode. She’s lashed out in fearful moments—biting, growling, and barking, especially during forced handling or grooming. But she’s shown she can change with a calm, structured foster home. Now she handles baths and vet visits with less stress, though she still needs a muzzle when things get too intense. Regular, gentle exposure helps her acclimate. Despite her history, Annie surprised everyone by being sweet with a calm, dog-savvy kid in a controlled setting, but she’s not a fit for households with young children or multiple kids. She needs a low-energy home, plenty of walks, and an owner who’ll respect her space. Annie is well-mannered indoors, and a basic obedience class is required for adoption to help build trust with her new person. She’s ready to settle into a peaceful, caring home where she can keep making progress. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
