Anna is a gentle Labrador Retriever and Hound mix, only 9 months old, quietly waiting in Winter Garden, FL for the right person to help her blossom. Crowded rooms and new people can make Anna nervous, but she has a soft, loving spirit and so much potential waiting to come out. Give her patience and time, and Anna gradually opens up: each tail wag and tentative lean for affection feels like a real achievement. She's especially drawn to women and thrives with a calm, steady presence. Anna finds her confidence on daily walks—she perks up when the leash appears and truly enjoys exploring the world. Water and toys bring out her playful side, and other dogs help her feel braver. She benefits from a securely fenced yard where she can move at her own pace. Anna may never be the type to greet strangers at the door, but for someone who values gentle loyalty and seeing progress day by day, watching Anna gain confidence is deeply rewarding. Your home must have all resident pets spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. Polka Dogz does local adoptions only within Florida. What are you waiting for?
