Story

Meet Anna!Joined us in: January 2026About Anna:· A very sweet girl who loves attention once she feels comfortable and safe with you.· Sensitive and gentle — she will need continued socialization to help her learn that the world isn’t such a scary place.· Not very interested in toys just yet, as new things can feel overwhelming, but she does have a soft spot for pets and beef liver treats.· Has the cutest little underbite that adds to her charm.Her perfect match:· A calm, patient home that can offer slow introductions and let Anna build confidence at her own pace.· An adopter who understands shy dogs and is happy to go slow and steady.· A home without cats, and if there is another dog, feeding separately is recommended.Some extra facts about Anna:· Was unsure when first meeting a dog, but with time her tail started wagging and she even initiated play.· Can play a little rough with other dogs and isn’t afraid to correct them when needed.· On medication for allergies, which is easy to manage as part of her daily routine.· Would be suitable for a first-time owner who is willing to learn alongside her and provide gentle guidance.In short:Anna is a tender-hearted girl with a big heart and an adorable underbite to match. With patience, understanding, and gentle care — including her allergy medication — she’ll blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your kindness tenfold.
