Story
Annie sat scared and helpless in a Kentucky shelter, overlooked by potential adopters because she was so scared and shutdown from the world. Rogers Rescues gave her a second chance a life outside of the shelter and her foster home has watched her blossom. Annie has learned the joy of soft dog beds, the joy of dog bones, the sheer pleasure of running with abandon in the backyard with a ball in her mouth. Best of all, she has access to a toy bin full of stuffed toys, which she absolutely ADORES! She thoroughly enjoys the companionship of her foster siblings and has even started engaging in play with them. We do think she will best thrive in a home with another dog to help her continue to build her confidence and mentor her in everything dog. She knows to go potty outside, loves her crate, and happily snoozes the day away in a dog bed or curled up on the couch. Despite being a coonhound which has a reputation for being loud, she is a very quiet girl, rarely barking. But being a coonhound, she does want to chase and flush any critters brave enough to venture into the yard. One of her very favorite things to do is go for a walk. If you hold up the harness and leash, she immediately runs over to you and patiently sits and waits for you to put it on her. She walks very well on a leash and goes on daily walks with the other dogs in the house. Watching Annie settle in and learn that the world is not a scary place has been so heartwarming. She has so much love to give and is truly a special girl. Please note that although she has come a long way from the terrified shelter dog, loud, unfamiliar noises will still startle her and make her nervous. Given her timid nature, we do think she will do better in a more residential environment. Please consider giving Annie the home she truly deservesone that will spoil her rotten with couch cuddles, squishy beds, long walks, and stuffy toys galore. Any interested adopters must be willing to drive to meet her in person in Bethlehem, PA. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our application.
