about ANNA

From the bustling streets of Dallas, Texas, to the open skies of South Dakota, Anna’s journey has been one of quiet courage and second chances. This lovely girl made her way north through a volunteer relay, each stop bringing her closer to safety, love, and a chance to truly exhale. While we may never know the full story of her early life, one thing is clear: Anna has weathered a lot and is learning that home can be a place of kindness, comfort, and soft snuggles.

​

Anna is a tender-hearted soul wrapped in soft fur and gentle shyness. She may hang back when meeting new people or in unfamiliar environments, but once trust is earned, she’ll melt your heart with the happiest full-body wiggle you’ve ever seen. Though she’s a medium-sized pup, Anna is convinced she’s lap-sized and adores curling up close for a quiet nap.

​

She’s learning all the routines of home life like a pro calm in her kennel, relaxed on her tie-down, and taking in the world with thoughtful curiosity. On walks, Anna moves politely at your side, occasionally pausing to take in her surroundings but always looking to her person for reassurance.

​

Anna can find the world to be a very overwhelming place, especially when meeting new people or in busy environments. She’s also struggling to feel comfortable around the smaller children in her current foster home. To help support her, Anna has started an anxiety medication plan and is working with trainers to build her confidence and learn that the world isn’t quite as scary as it seems.

​

Anna would thrive in a quiet, structured home with a patient and understanding adopter who’s willing to let her set the pace and celebrate progress in tiny, meaningful steps. A confident resident dog could be a wonderful support for her, as she’s shown she does well with canine friends and previously lived peacefully with both dogs and cats. Anna can also be quite perceptive she does best with humans who advocate for her and make her feel safe and heard.

​

Once Anna feels secure, her loyal and loving personality shines through. She’ll reward your patience with gentle kisses, soft sighs of contentment, and that signature joyful wiggle that says, “You’re my favorite person.”

​

Anna isn’t looking for a busy lifestyle — just a steady routine, a safe space, and a human who understands that some of the best bonds are built slowly and deeply. Could you be the one to show Anna what forever feels like?
