This week’s featured pup is Anna, a one-two-year old, 35 pound, playful pit mix who was found as a stray in Philadelphia. Now she’s in foster care and looking for a forever home! Anna is sweet and smart and really eager to please. She loves her people, and is meeting new people to love all the time.

Anna can occasionally be uncertain with new people, but a few treats go a long way with this girl, and she will be your best pal in no time. And once she’s your pal, she’s really your pal – you can pick her up, cuddle her, kiss her, touch her paws: she has no body-handling issues at all! At night, she loves to sack out on the couch, sprawled across your lap while you read or watch a movie. And if you let her on the bed, she will burrow down in the blankets to cuddle up close to you. (Though she happily sleeps in her crate all night if you want her to).

Anna has also been making new dog friends in her foster home. She is great with lower energy dogs (she has been lovely and polite with two fragile 14 year-old dogs that she knows), but can get a little too excited with higher energy, pushy dogs. Her medium-energy foster brother is just right for her.

Anna has plenty of puppy energy, so she would do best in a home that can provide her with daily exercise. She loves to go running with her foster mom. She is super smart, and learns fast. Watch her video to see how much she has learned in just a few weeks in foster care! She can be a little jumpy and mouthy when she plays, so older children only would be best for Anna. Anna does have some allergies that seem to be controlled by diet, but don’t hold that against her! Anna is house-trained, crate-trained, microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, and ready to go home with you! To meet Anna, contact elizabeth.elzer [at] gmail.com.
