About Annie

Annie is a unique dog with a story to tell. Rescued as a stray, she initially faced challenges integrating into a busy household, which led her to the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center. This medium-sized, spayed female is sensitive and shy, preferring a calm environment where she can feel secure. Fast movements and chaotic settings can unsettle her, but she’s not aggressive—just a little unsure. Interestingly, Annie seems indifferent toward cats and has shown curiosity about other dogs, as long as interactions remain respectful. At first, she needed some coaxing to venture outside, but in the yard, she quickly demonstrated her softer side, enjoying gentle scratches and becoming more comfortable. Annie is house trained and keeps her kennel tidy. With a bit of time and patience from her future family, she can flourish into a loyal companion—one that takes her time to understand the world around her. Give her the quiet, gentle home she needs, and you’ll discover a thoughtful friend. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
