My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Annie, a lovable furry friend currently up for adoption through Fur Sisters, is a delightful companion who has quickly found her place in a warm, loving foster home. Eating well and feeling comfortable, Annie's contentment is evident in her behavior and interactions with humans. She possesses an extraordinary aptitude for human companionship, effortlessly adapting to various individuals, including men, women, and children.

One remarkable trait of Annie is her exceptional house-training skills. Rather than having accidents indoors, she cleverly communicates her need to go outside by playfully indicating her intentions. Recognizing her need for a bathroom break becomes a fun opportunity to engage in playtime. It is a testament to Annie's intelligence and eagerness to build a strong bond with her future owner.

Furthermore, Annie exhibits promising signs of trainability. Her ability to sit and stay demonstrates her willingness to learn and follow instructions. While on walks, she generally maintains a calm demeanor and does not pull excessively. Annie's cooperative attitude reflects her desire to connect and be a well-behaved companion.

However, it is important to note that Annie does carry some emotional baggage from her past experiences. During a test with a submissive dog, she initially appeared comfortable. Unfortunately, Annie's suppressed trauma resurfaced as she started trembling with fear. This behavior reveals that she needs an owner who understands and empathizes with her past and is willing to invest extra effort in her socialization with other animals.

Given Annie's history, she would thrive in a home as an only dog, with someone experienced in handling dogs and committed to providing the attention and patience Annie requires. An individual who can offer a secure environment and dedicate the necessary time and effort to gradually socialize Annie with other animals would be a perfect match. If you are up for helping Annie overcome her past and building a trusting relationship with her, she will reward you with loyalty and unconditional love. With your capable guidance, Annie has the potential to blossom into an extraordinary companion and a cherished member of your family. Consider opening your heart and home to Annie, and together, embark on a journey of healing and companionship.

Additional adoption info

Local adoptions only! (Northeast Florida)

If you are considering adoption but are not 100% sure about the lifetime commitment, please consider fostering!
Fostering allows us to pull dogs from shelters, is at no cost to you, and you get to help save lives. If you decide the furbaby is a good fit for you and your family, you can move forward with the adoption process.
