About Me

Meet Annie

Status: Fostered

Estimated Age: 8-9 Months

Estimated Weight: 23 Pounds

UPDATE - 16 FEBRUARY 2022 (from foster mom): Annie is a wonderful little girl who is eager to please and quickly learning how to be a well-behaved puppy. She is now housetrained to a doggie door with no accidents.  She LOVES to play tug of war, bitey-face, zoomie-chase, and wrestle with her foster siblings. She has learned to respect the other dogs' cues for when play-time is over.  She then either cuddles for a nap or entertains herself with chewy toys.  Annie's favorite place is snuggling in your lap and giving you lots of kisses. She is very people oriented. She is ready to thrive in a home where she can continue to learn and be spoiled.

UPDATE - 23 JANUARY 2022: Annie is now in a new foster home and doing great! She is very much a puppy but is learning the ropes very quickly. The resident dogs are a huge help teaching her boundaries and housetraining. She is tiring, but manageable, and all are sleeping very soundly at night when she finally winds down. She is sooo adorable which is her saving grace!

Annie will require an active family. She would be best as either an only dog, or the other dogs in the family must match her energy level - she is 24/7 play, play, play! She has brought some life back into our seniors, but she plays ruff and needs to be monitored closely so she doesn't accidentally hurt the older dogs. She does very well in a crate (sleeps quietly at night). We also use the crate for time-outs when she needs to settle down a notch. She learned the doggie door and is improving with her house training, but she still has occasional accidents when she is too distracted by play to make it outside in time. She's still very chewy and loves toys. Her favorites are the rope toys and nylabones. Puppy rules definitely apply - no shoes or other temptations left lying around.. She is super affectionate and is a huge kisser.

UPDATE - 11 JANUARY 2022 (from foster family): Who wants free kisses?? Annie has plenty to spare! This sweet girl has such a positive, loving attitude that it is impossible not to feel wonderful around her. She is so smart and has warmed to house living easily. She is fun to walk on a leash and will go potty on walks. Housetraining is a work in progress but Annie knows how to use pee pads. She will stay in the crate for short times. Annie is a gorgeous baby who has the It factor working for her. Come see her on adoption day January 15th for a free kiss!

UPDATE - 26 NOVEMBER 2021: Annie is now fully vetted and available for fostering and adoption. She's a cutie!

NEW - 22 NOVEMBER 2021: Annie is a young beagle mix who is a playful little girl. She’s friendly and good with other dogs at the kennels. She was a stray at the Louisa County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so her history is unknown. She will be available soon.
