A Note from the Foster: Meet Ann — Professional Human Trainer
Hi! I’m Ann, and I’ve been very busy training my foster humans. It’s going great so far, but I’m ready to find a forever family I can continue my work with.
Here are some of my best training accomplishments so far:
✔️ I’ve trained my human to give me a treat every time I sit.
All I have to do is plant my butt on the ground, and boom—snack delivery.
✔️ I trained my human to open the door whenever I stand by it.
Now I can go outside to potty… or sprint laps around the yard for absolutely no reason other than it’s fun and I’m fast.
✔️ I trained my human to give me a treat for going into my kennel.
They think they taught me to kennel-up, but we all know who’s in charge here.
✔️ I’ve even trained my human to sit on the couch the moment I’m ready for a nap.
Training humans is exhausting work, and cuddle time is the best way for both of us to recharge.
I’m a smart girl who loves playing fetch, chewing on toys, and anything that earns me snacks. I also love other dogs! I’d be thrilled to have a four‑legged buddy in my new home. In my foster home, the senior dog isn’t quite ready to play with me yet, but I’m working hard to win him over.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful girl who will make you laugh and keep you on your toes, I’d love to meet you.
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
