Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Annabelle is a sweet and mellow senior gal. She is quite polite, but not above taking a slice of bread off the kitchen counter (though she suffers from guilt afterwards). She is crate trained, although she doesn't need one because she is such a great houseguest. She loves to lounge around in a fluffy bed. She is smart and knows commands to "sit and "go potty and walks well on a leash. She is a very gentle gal. She is good with kids, with cats, and gentle with kittens.
Annabelle can also be best described by what she DOESN'T do: She doesn't bark, she doesn't chew things up, and she doesn't dig. She will let you know if someone is at the door by walking to the door and looking at it. The very few times when we HAVE heard her bark it was because something was very wrong (coyotes outside!).
Though her current family is home almost all the time, Annabelle has been lonely since her best friend (a dog) died a few years ago. She is friends with the family cats but they don't offer the companionship she once had. Annabelle would do great with a family or person that has another dog or children that will play with her.
