Story
Annabel is a 2 ½ year old female sighthound who needs to be rehomed. She has been a very loving dog with us her owners since we adopted her in January 2025, but is overprotective and resource-guarding, making her aggressively reactive with strangers. Because she has bitten two strangers (one in December 2025 and one in June 2026), our landlord will no longer let her live with us. Annabel has a lot going for her: she’s house trained, leash trained, recall trained, enjoys time in her crate, and is a born clown—she’s a body contortionist who makes us laugh! Needless to say, she is a great watchdog. She bonds with other dogs who she considers to be part of her family. She is fully up-to-date with vet physicals. She is very affectionate with family members, enjoying close cuddling and walks. Our highly respected trainer at Wilde Acres in Glyndon, MD has worked with Annabel for 1 ½ years and believes she would make a good pet for an owner with a fenced yard in a relatively quiet area.
