Name: Anna Mae
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years
Current Weight: 55 lbs
Expected Adult Size: Large (50-100 lbs)
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Energy Level: Medium
Dog Friendly: Yes, and can have other dogs in the home or can be an only dog.
Cat Friendly: Selective
Kid Friendly: Yes
Apartment Friendly: Yes
Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise
Crate Trained: Yes for short periods of time
Potty Trained: Yes
Ideal Home/Adopter: Anna Mae will thrive with a patient, confident adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to move at her pace. She does best with calm, consistent leadership and clear boundaries, which help her feel safe and settled. Anna would be happiest as an only dog or with a very laid back, confident older dog who is unfazed by her playful enthusiasm and does not mind roughhousing or simply ignoring it. Smaller or sensitive dogs are not a good match for her energy level.
She does especially well in an all female home. If there is a man in the household, it is important to understand that Anna may take weeks or even months to warm up, and that slow, respectful introductions are key. She has also done well in homes with younger kids. With patience, structure, and understanding, Anna becomes a deeply loyal and affectionate companion who bonds strongly with her people and truly blossoms in a stable, predictable home.
Likes: Car rides (she gets genuinely excited and jumps in on her own) Running in the backyard Playing tug-of-war (rough and intense) Squeaky toys (her absolute favorite—she'll demolish them daily to get the squeaker out) Self-entertaining with toys for hours Giving kisses constantly and showering her person with affection once she bonds Getting pets from people she trusts Playing and roughhousing Food in general—any kind! She's a total food enthusiast and will sit politely waiting for her turn.
Dislikes: She needs the men that she meets to be understanding of the fact that she needs a little time to learn that they can be trusted. In her defense, she was told to choose the bear. Auto locks are not her favorite sound.
Anna Mae is a resilient, big hearted girl who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. She thrives with patience, structure, and calm confidence, and once she feels secure, her true personality shines through. Anna bonds deeply with her people and shows her love through constant affection, enthusiastic kisses, and loyal companionship. She is playful, goofy, and full of character, with a love for adventure, car rides, and toys she proudly conquers one squeaker at a time.
She does best in a home that understands her need for slow introductions and clear boundaries, especially around new people, and where her energy and play style are a good match for the household. In the right environment, Anna is not just a dog, she is a devoted companion who will reward patience with unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a joyful presence that makes every day brighter.
Anna Mae's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.
