Ann Marie Wiggle Butt Cuddles

Ann Marie is the kind of dog who makes you wonder why anyone ever leaves the couch in the first place. One look at her wiggly little body, her happy piggy-snorts, and her dramatic belly-flop routine and you'll understand exactly why her foster calls her the absolute sweetest girl ever. Ann Marie feels a little too formal for a dog whose greatest passions in life are naps, snacks, belly rubs, and aggressively cuddling anyone who dares sit down near her. This girl is basically a professional snuggler. She may not have the trophy to prove it, but she is fully convinced she won first place years ago. Her signature move? The Belly RollTM. The second she senses affection might be available, she'll dramatically plop onto her back, wiggle-wiggle across the couch, and patiently wait for her spa treatment. Belly rubs are not optional in Ann Marie's world... they are simply part of the daily schedule.

At around 8 years old and 50 pounds, Ann Marie has perfected the art of being the ideal low-maintenance companion. We think she may be a boxer/beagle mix, but with rescue, its always a guess! She's happy to snooze beside you during a movie marathon, supervise your patio lunch date, join you for a beach day, or accompany you on leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. She's got enough goofy sparkle left to make you laugh every day, but none of the chaos gremlin energy that comes with younger dogs. She is the perfect mix of silly and settled. She spends most of her day happily napping on the couch, and honestly? She's extremely talented at it. Ann Marie absolutely adores people. She lights up around affection and naturally gravitates toward human companionship wherever she goes. She's lived with a child and done wonderfully, and her foster says she's been around large groups of people in the home and happily soaked up every ounce of attention. She's the kind of dog who wants to quietly exist alongside her people, occasionally waddling over for kisses and couch cuddles before returning to her very important nap schedule.

Ideal Home

Ann Marie would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home where she can fully relax and soak up all the attention. However, with the right match, she may also do well with a calm, confident, lower-energy male dog who respects boundaries and doesn't try to constantly engage her. If there's already another dog in the home, our team would want a trainer discussion beforehand to help ensure it's the right fit for everyone involved. She has also done well around cats, but she would do best with calm, dog-savvy kitties who mostly keep to themselves. Ann Marie isn't looking for a feline wrestling partner, so playful cats who want to zoom around, swat at her, or constantly get in her face probably wouldn't be her style. A mellow, respectful cat companion would be much more her speed.

Ongoing Health

None noted in the description.

Training & Support

She is house-trained, non-destructive, rides wonderfully in the car, and walks beautifully on leash. She doesn't need much exercise beyond short strolls and sniffy adventures. She would be an amazing apartment dog. And she would be just as content with a yard to sunbathe in.
