About Annabelle

Annabelle is a delightful young dog currently at Heartland Animal Shelter in Wheeling, IL, waiting for her new home. Just over a year old, she has a calm and observant personality that sets her apart from the more boisterous dogs around her. Annabelle arrived alongside Antonio, who we suspect is her father, after being abandoned in southern Texas. They share a striking resemblance, and while she appreciates Antonio's company, she can thrive on her own, too. This sweet girl is gentle, affectionate, and very well-mannered. She enjoys attention without needing to be the focal point, and her charming demeanor makes her quite lovable. Annabelle is a great walking companion, managing well on the leash despite her size. She's currently carrying a bit of extra weight, but with a little help, she will get to her ideal weight of around 50 pounds. Adoption should be about finding the right individual, and Annabelle is ready to shine. She’s spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and just waiting for someone to give her the love and attention she deserves. If you're looking for a steady companion with a gentle spirit, Annabelle might just be the perfect match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
