Meet Annie, a gentle 1 yf old Shepherd/Lab mix weighing about 45 lbs who is thriving in a loving foster home. Once timid and unsure, she’s blossomed into a joyful, treat-loving companion—even though she’s still a bit shy and needs a patient, loving home to fully come out of her shell.

Annie enjoys playing with her stuffed toys and resident dogs, and she’s already mastered sitting (with “down” in progress!). She’s a natural at catching treats, and her heartwarming morning wiggles show just how excited she is to see you. Annie is fully housebroken and loves playing with the resident dog.. She will need a home with a fully fenced in yard and a quiet home with adults only or respectful children 10+ is preferred.

Annie is looking for a forever family who sees the confident, loving dog she will one day become and is willing to nurture her on her own terms. Could your home be the perfect match for this resilient sweetheart?
