About Anya

Anya's story should have broken her spirit. Instead, she decided to keep going. At just 7 months old, Anya was shot twice by her former owner's neighbor, leaving her paralyzed. It is a story that is difficult to understand, but if you met Anya today, you would never know it by the way she lives her life. This sweet girl has fully embraced being a special needs puppy and, honestly, she's crushing it. She scoots around like a pro, loves her wheelchair (which will go with her to her adopter), and has zero plans of slowing down. Anya is mobile, happy, curious, and determined to keep up with life. She absolutely adores other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. If play gets a little too rough, she's perfectly capable of telling them she'd prefer to keep things a bit gentler. She also loves people and is a world-class snuggler who is always happy to soak up affection. Because of her injury, Anya is incontinent and may wear diapers depending on what works best for her family and lifestyle. Like everything else she has faced, she handles it beautifully. Anya does not see herself as limited, and honestly, neither do we. She is joyful, resilient, loving, and proof that sometimes the dogs who have every reason to give up become the ones who inspire everyone around them. All she needs now is someone willing to see her the way we do: absolutely perfect. Meet Anya pipsrescue.org/adopt
