Story
My wife and I rescued this dog after he was abandoned by a family member with another family member. He was going to be sent to another family member who was going to chain him out to a tree in February when snow was on the ground and we could not allow that to happen. He was underweight and malnourished when we got him and we have gotten him back to a healthy weight. He has a LOT of energy and we do not have a fenced yard to allow him somewhere to run and get that energy out. He needs to live somewhere where he has a play area to get his energy out and possibly has another dog to play with that can match his play energy. Loves to fetch balls. He is a heavy chewer and needs good strong toys he can chew on. He is starting to learn commands and has an e-collar we call his remote control. We use vibration and audible settings only and have actually removed the prongs from the unit that allows the shock method to be used so it doesn't chafe his skin and can't be used.

Annie is getting used to living inside and she’s doing great! She does well with male dogs her size or bigger. She also do well as an only dog. She is shy with new people until she gets to know them. Annie came to us a bit overweight and is working hard to shed some pounds. She does like to run in the yard but also likes a soft bed.
