Meet ANNIE

What dog breed has a ridge on its neck but not all the way down its back, is 39 lbs and brindle? Well… only Annie knows! Annie was found as a stray by a good Samaritan. While that kind person tried to help her settle into a home environment, it quickly became clear that the busy household and other animals were a bit too overwhelming for Annie to comfortably cohabitate with. Shortly after, Annie arrived at PAC in hopes of being reunited with an owner—but no one came forward. Annie is a shy, sensitive little girl who can be nervous around fast-moving animals and busy environments. She becomes unsure when things feel chaotic, but she is not reactive or aggressive—just overwhelmed and unsure how to navigate it all. Interestingly, she did not seem bothered by cats. When she first arrived, Annie was hesitant in her kennel and unsure about new people. Once leash pressure was removed and she was outside, she relaxed enough to go about her business and slowly observe her surroundings. She is alert to sounds and will often pause to take everything in, especially when she hears or sees movement in the distance. In the yard, Annie showed a softer side—she enjoyed gentle attention and would lean into scratches on her hind end once she felt safe. She even showed a bit of curiosity toward a tennis ball, until it unexpectedly bonked her on the head (which quickly ended that game idea for the day). She is also starting to show some interest in other dogs from a distance, such as when she observed Bailey, though she prefers calm, respectful interactions and can be overwhelmed by play attempts. Annie did very well with Bailey overall, as Bailey respectfully gave her space when Annie felt unsure. She is potty trained and keeps her kennel clean. Annie will thrive in a quiet, patient home where she is given time to decompress and learn that the world doesn’t always have to be so overwhelming. She is not a “pushy” dog—she’s a watcher, a thinker, and a slow-burn kind of girl who needs someone willing to let her set the pace. With time, routine, and gentle reassurance, Annie has all the potential to blossom into a loyal, soft-hearted companion who finally feels safe enough to fully relax.
