3-4-08 Hello, my name is Annie, and if there were a competition for sweetest,
most snuggly dog EVER, I think
I would have a VERY good shot at the
"Title"! I think that is because I am so happy to be somewhere that I am
safe and well cared for. You see, like a lot of the dogs here at the
rescue with me, I had a rough start.
I wasn't able to share all the
details, since I don't speak Human, but the rescuers know that I was found
underweight
and running down a busy road, dragging a knotted, dirty
rope behind me. When I went to the vet for my checkup, they
found I was
heartworm positive, which means that the people who "cared for me" (and
the human typing this for me uses
that term loosely) obviously didn't
do anything to keep me safe from heartworm. Maybe giving a pill one
time
per month was just more than their brain could handle? The people
at the rescue have been getting me my heartworm
treatment and I have been
tolerating the treatment very well and still feeling very snuggly and
loving!
A girl
can't be too specific about her age, so all I'll say is that I
am "about" 2 or 3 years old. I don't remember my
parents, but the
humans at the rescue say that one was probably a Boxer and the other was
probably a Pitbull mix.
I don't really like to talk about my weight (what
girl does??!!) but to give you an idea if I would fit in your home/car,
I
am about 45 pounds. I love-love-love people, but am not really a fan
of other dogs. So, I'd be happiest in
a home where I could be the
Princess and the center of the human attention....i.e. no other dogs nosing
around!
I also LOVE riding in the car, so if anyone is looking for
company on a Road Trip, I'm your gal! Maybe we could
hit the beach this
Summer? Don't think I have ever been to the beach...
Annie is spayed, microchipped, and
up to date on all of her shots. The
rescue is managing her heartworm treatment and will continue to do so
if
she has not completed her treatment when she is adopted. If you are
interested in Annie or any of our dogs or puppies,
please visit
www.northmecklenburganimalrescue.org to fill out an application. If you are
unable to adopt at this time but would still like to help the dogs,
please visit our site and see the "ways you can help" page. Thanks for
your interest in our "gang".
