About Annie

Annie is a 140-pound black Great Dane whose favorite place is wherever you are. Unlike many Danes who never quite grow out of their awkward puppy phase, Annie arrived mature, elegant, and fully committed to her title of "professional house dog." She’s not here for drama—walks in, finds a spot, and leans in for reassurance with a quiet confidence that fills the space. Annie reads the room like a pro and figured out her foster home without missing a beat, settling in almost overnight. If you want a dog who isn’t shy about a little "Dane sass" and has just enough attitude to keep things interesting, she fits the bill—never rude, just opinionated. Her calm, intuitive nature doesn’t mean she’s boring. She gets along easily with other dogs and kids, but makes her needs known when the situation calls for it—dinner, nap, or cuddles. She’s house trained, spayed, and thriving with her short, shiny coat. Annie would do best with someone who likes a serene house and appreciates a gentle, giant presence (no Dane experience needed; she’s an ideal introduction to the breed). Her only ask? A quiet corner and a soft spot to call home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
