Meet Anita, a sweet and gentle 3-year-old, 30-pound shepherd/bully mix who is ready for a home! When Anita arrived with her friends, she was severely underweight after being abandoned. Thanks to the care she has received, Anita has gained weight, is now healthy, spayed, and ready to start her next chapter. Anita is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, loves human attention, and is a gentle and sweet companion. No cats for Anita, please!
Anita was out and about during Paws Around the Pee Dee and showed everyone what a wonderful companion she can be. She rode beautifully in the car, walked okay on a leash, and wasn't bothered by busy downtown traffic or loud noises. She enjoyed exploring downtown Hartsville, visiting Center Park, and stopping by Purrs McBarkin'. Anita has been great in playgroups at the shelter, happy to meet other dogs, greeting them politely with a few sniffs and plenty of tail wags. She is playful and will happily romp with other dogs. She loves affection and happily stretches out to soak up pets and attention from her volunteer companion. Anita is still learning about new experiences. She wasn't a fan of the wooden boardwalk, stairs, or entering unfamiliar doorways, but with a little encouragement and practice, she worked through those challenges. Her field trip notes describe her as sweet, calm, and curious, with just a touch of uncertainty in new situations. Anita is a laid-back girl who would love a patient family willing to help build her confidence while showing her all the good things life has to offer. After everything she's been through, she deserves a soft bed, loving people, and a place to finally call home. She was in a temporary storm foster and did well!
