ANNIE - SHEPHERD / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Meet Annie - a ~1 year old old girl weighing about 50lbs! Sweet Annie is a mixed breed, but we see gorgeous features of shepherd and lab in her. Annie is a gentle soul with a quiet strength that’s been growing more and more each day. When she first arrived, the world felt like a very big, scary place. New people? Suspicious. Loud noises? Absolutely not. The broom that her foster family uses to clean? Don’t even get her started. She preferred to stay tucked away where she felt safe, keeping her distance while she tried to figure it all out. But don’t let her timid first impression fool you—with time, patience, and a whole lot of love, there’s a playful spirit just waiting to shine. Each day, she shows a little more of her true self—incredibly sweet with the silliest personality. Looking to get the happiest wiggles when you get home from a long day of work? Annie is your gal. Once comfortable, Annie absolutely loves an occasional belly rub. She loves playing with toys, most definitely loves hanging out with her foster brother, and does great on her leash for walks. She sleeps in her crate during the day for naps and sleeps in there over night as well with no issues. She’s been doing very well at potty training with no accidents for a while now. Annie would thrive with a patient family that will continue to work with her to build more confidence. She would especially benefit from having a confident, friendly canine companion by her side—another dog who can show her the ropes to basically say “Hey, see? This isn’t so scary!” She would also love a fenced in yard where she can feel comfortable enough to run freely. Annie has been around children recently and did great. She had not been around cats, but we think she would be just fine given her calm demeanor. Annie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She will require a home with another dog and a physical (not electric) fenced in yard. She can go to her forever home any day, so apply for this sweetheart with Paws Across Pittsburgh, KL 16182.
