ANNIE - BEAGLE / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle / Terrier / Mixed. Meet Annie! This beautiful girl was rescued as a stray along with her two puppies after showing up at a Good Samaritan’s home. The trio was brought to a local shelter, where her pups were quickly taken in by a partner rescue and have already found their forever homes. Now, it’s Annie’s turn for a happy ending! Annie has been settling into her North Carolina foster home for the past couple of weeks, living with two older dogs and frequently interacting with visiting grandkids. She’s a sweet, social, and well-adjusted pup; comfortable in a pack but confident enough to thrive as a solo dog, too. She respects the older dogs in the home but still loves to play, and her foster mom has been arranging regular playdates with a neighbor’s dog, which Annie adores. She’s an enthusiastic, active player who would do best with another playful pup, and while she can be vocal during play, she’s otherwise a quiet houseguest. We checked in with her foster mom, Cindy, for an update: “Annie is such a sweet soul and loves everyone, both people and dogs. She follows us around the house and is a great companion. She loves attention and will happily curl up on the couch with you or roll over for belly rubs. She’s calm inside unless there’s another dog to play with, and she settles in beautifully when it’s time to rest. She’s young but not hyper, doesn’t jump on guests, and while she may bark initially, she’s never aggressive. She just needs a minute to adjust, and then she’s rolling on her back to ask for belly rubs. Annie had a few accidents when she first arrived, but is now fully house-trained. She sleeps soundly through the night on a dog bed next to my mom, and we can leave her uncrated at night with the other dogs without any issues. She is crate-trained, and we do use the crate when we leave the house. She’s still a young pup who might get into mischief! We’ve been working on leash skills using an Easy Walk harness, and she’s getting better every day. She only vocalizes when she spots someone or another dog she wants to meet. Other than that, she rarely barks and doesn’t even join in when my dogs bark! Annie is around 30 lbs and is a little on the slim side, so we’re feeding her extra to help her fill out. We’re not entirely sure of her breed; she’s petite with long legs, a small face, and a white-tipped tail—maybe a little Beagle in there? She’s a perfect size and loves sunning on the deck, playing fetch and tug, and most of all, cuddling.” Ideal Home: Annie would thrive in an active home with owners who enjoy including their pup in daily life, whether that’s hiking, playing fetch in the backyard, or sun lounging on the deck. She’d love a canine playmate or regular playdates with dog friends. She’s the full package: affectionate, playful, house-trained, and a great companion. Ready to meet your new best friend?
