Arrival story: Transferred to Waggin’ Tails from Dog Aide, found living outdoors with her sibling during cold spell in January 2024.
Approximate age / Weight: 7.5 months old and 38 lbs.
Ana likes to play, curl up in your lap, and gives the greatest hugs! While she spent the first 7 months of her life as an outside dog, she’s picking up quickly the do’s and dont’s of indoor life. She chooses to relax and then sleep in her crate at night. Ana is also crated when left alone and does well. She’s a champ at the vet’s office but the car rides make her feel a bit uneasy. Ana is very food motivated, eager to please and is a quick learner, perfecting sit and working on the down cue. Leash manners need some work but our girl loves a good walk.
While Ana and her sibling likely missed out on some important socialization as young pups, they’ll just need a little extra time when exposed to new things and places.
*Ana happily shares most toys while playing with her sister Elsa, but has shown some guarding of high value bones and food around her sibling. Just like sisters, right? She has not shown any guarding of items with humans but in the best interest of little ones, we’ll place Ana in an adult-only home or with older kids. While Ana enjoys playing with other dogs she really would enjoy life as an only dog or with another dog (male) with laid back personality.
Forever Home: Ana is filled with tons of love to give! She'd thrive with a person/family willing to teach her all about how great the world is and all it has to offer (sniffs, walks, play) but also give her time to warm up to new things she finds scary. Ana can’t wait to give you a hug!
