MEET ANNA! - I am in a foster home, please contact Lisa at llagos@arlboston.org to meet me! Anna is a gorgeous combination of a doe and a shepherd: alert, bright, agile, and food driven. A wonderful companion for experienced dog people and/or a family with teens. In the morning, grab your coffee, a bucket of balls, and gear up to practice your pitches in your fenced in yard, she is an expert catcher. Be sure to alternate your arms so your muscles stay symmetrical. If you run back into the house for more coffee and take too long, she will cleverly open the screen door to make sure you get an extra big cup. Fill up your fanny pack with treats and lace up your hikers for sniff walks in the woods or on quiet roads. She is nervous around new people she meets along the way and likes her space. While she often barks at other dogs when on walks, she loves meeting and playing them. Don’ t worry, she is wonderfully cuddly, playful, and house-trained. She will curl up in a quiet spot in your home and enjoy music, sound machines, and the low hum of fans or air conditioners. She’ll sense when you’re stressed while watching an intense show and will check on you to ensure you’re okay. Sometimes she’ ll lean in further to get as close to you as possible to help your body regulate. Anna has been with two long-term foster volunteers and they are looking forward to supporting her success in her loving home.
