Pet of the Week: Annie, Rescued in Nick of Time, an Obedience Class Grad

Editor's note: This is a weekly series called "Pet of the Week" where we feature a companion up for adoption from Dakota County animal rescues.

Annie just passed her basic obedience class. Annie is a blend of redbone coon hound and a little pit bull. Her mix of breeds resulted in a beautiful, smart, loving dog who was rescued from a high kill shelter at the last possible moment. 

She came to us with ribs and hip bones showing at 34 pounds. After some good groceries, she now weighs 55 pounds. Aside from sleeping on her back with all four feet in the air, she loves to play with the resident dog. Games of chase at full speed around the yard, keep my toy away and tossing a ball in the air for catch makes for an entertaining canine. When she isn’t racing around with her buddy, she likes to sit in the back yard watching the tops of the trees for squirrels. When the chipmunks chirp, she can leap and jump just like a white-tailed deer.

She is great with kids, loves to lick bare toes and tolerates cats. Annie loves going for long walks and playing at the dog park.

She would do best in a fenced in yard and having another playful canine would be wonderful for her. She would enjoy doggie day care as well.

Annie is with a 501(c)3 non profit rescue. Her $150 adoption fee is to cover her spay, heartworm test and pill, immunizations, worming, flea/tick prevention and HomeAgain microchip. She is being fostered in the south metro.

Thanks for considering a rescue dog!
