My name is Anny!

Hi there, I’m Anny.
I’m an adorable, purebred Schnauzer girl who was rescued from the icky commercial breeding life in September 2024.
Oof, things started out pretty rough for me. Humans were scary, life was scary, kennels were scary, everything was scary. I have been through a ton of things in my first 2 years of life and let’s just say most aren’t pleasant at all.
Thank heavens for rescue and my patient foster parents and my foster siblings - because I have begun to really enjoy being a loved family member and this dog thing is pretty awesome.

I am not going to be for every family, because I’m still learning to be brave and happy every day. Loud noises frighten me. Like the garage door or the doorbell, or anytime my foster mommy drops something - I run for the hills.
Also, kissing my face - please don’t do it. I’m not saying I won’t ever hate it, but right now the sound and the human face in mine just deeply scares me.
Picking me up - please don’t do it. I was lifted against my will for 2 years and I really, really don’t like it at all. I will run away from you if you try to do it.
I know I sound difficult, but I’m just still learning that humans and being a loved part of a family is a good thing.

Here is where I have made enormous strides - eating - it’s my favorite time of the day. Having a meal every day is just heaven.
I desperately need another doggie companion. I will follow my sibling and take all of their cues. Confidence is key, and I really need to have another fur buddy with me at all times because I do get anxious if/when I’m left alone.
Walks - at first I was terrified of the leash, like terrified and I still don’t love it, because having something put on my neck scares me, as do the noises from cars, but I will walk with my fur sibling, and I actually quite like doing it.
I will absolutely need a fenced secure yard at first because walking with my new family will take a lot of time, trust, and training.

Now my good points - because I have many!  I’m all Schnauzer - Silly, Sassy, and full of personality! When I get comfortable, I am a very happy and chill girl! Laying by the fireplace in a cozy bed is my true happy place!
I am pretty good about my kennel.  Never had a single mess in it, but I need to be coaxed patiently to go into it. Once I’m there I’m a super good girl and I don’t make a peep.
I love chewing! Bones, bully sticks, greenies, anything. I love to chew!
I also love laundry and enjoy stealing it and scattering it all over my foster mom and dad’s house. They laugh, because catching me with tshirt in my mouth is super funny!

I am very sweet and there isn’t a doggie friend I have disliked and my foster family has pups come for visits a lot. I have gotten along with all of them - young, old, and small.
I sleep in bed with my foster family. I really like it. I turn into a little goofball. It’s one of the few places I will let my foster mom and dad pet me, and rub my belly, and I even give them hand kisses.

Since loud noises really frighten me, young children are not recommended. I also have to live in a house with a fenced yard that is connected to the home, because I will take off quickly if given the chance and I will run away and I will not come back, or let you touch me or pick me up.

For a family with older, kind, and respectful children, a mom or dad who works from home, or a recently retired mom or dad, I would be a great addition to the family, as long as I have a fur sibling to hang out with.

I know that’s a lot of info, but I have overcome so much and with every new day I continue to make huge strides in showing what a great and brave girl I am.
