In the shelter’s words
We call her Orphan Annie since we found her abandoned on a hiking trail. Sort of amazing now that we have gotten to know her and that she stayed in one place long enough to be rescued.Annie is probably a Stubby Tail Cattle Dog, very much an Australian Cattle Dog with an emphasis on being active and engaged. Annie is typical of the herding breed, meant to nip at others to direct where to go. For this reason, she would not be good in a home with young children and is the kind of girl who needs a job.Annie loves being active and into everything. She usually has two speeds, sleeping, and full blast; unless she is one-on-one with her human when she is totally engaged. She is smart and would be a terrific girl to train for just about any high activity - herding, agility, anything that keeps her thinking and able to get praise for doing the right thing.This beautiful, compact girl will give back 200 percent and is capable of complex tasks; high endurance and willingness to please. If you need a working companion to be part of your everyday life you could not find a better match.She is fully vetted, microchipped, spayed, and current with her flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Potential adopters have to complete a detailed application that is available on the website. If no red flags, then a home visit is managed to confirm a fenced yard, existing pets, and kids to see if everyone gets along. Then an adoption contract is executed and the adoption fee is held for two weeks. The fee depends on the animal; seniors get a break.
Confirm availability, fees and the meeting address before traveling.
