Meet Annie!
Hello, my name is Annie, and if there were a competition for sweetest,
most snuggly dog EVER, I think I would have a VERY good shot at the
"Title"! I think that is because I am so happy to be somewhere that I am
safe and well cared for. You see, like a lot of the dogs here at the
rescue with me, I had a rough start. I wasn't able to share all the
details, since I don't speak Human, but the rescuers know that I was found
underweight and running down a busy road, dragging a knotted, dirty
rope behind me. When I went to the vet for my checkup, they found I was
heartworm positive, which means that the people who "cared for me" (and
the human typing this for me uses that term loosely) obviously didn't
do anything to keep me safe from heartworm. Maybe giving a pill one
time per month was just more than their brain could handle? The people
at the rescue have been getting me my heartworm treatment and I have been
tolerating the treatment very well and still feeling very snuggly and
loving!
A girl can't be too specific about her age, so all I'll say is that I
am "about" 2 or 3 years old. I don't remember my parents, but the
humans at the rescue say that one was probably a Boxer and the other was
probably a Pitbull mix. I don't really like to talk about my weight (what
girl does??!!) but to give you an idea if I would fit in your home/car, I
am about 45 pounds. I love-love-love people, but I am very scared of other dogs and don't really know how to handle meeting them properly. My biggest fan is really working with me on my fear of other doggies and she says I am doing great! Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be ready to meet your dog, but we will see cus I really want to take it slow! So, for now at least I'd be happiest in a home where I could be the
Princess and the center of the human attention but I will keep you posted on my progress with being a social butterfly. I also LOVE riding in the car, so if anyone is looking for
company on a Road Trip, I'm your gal! Maybe we could hit the beach this
Summer? Don't think I have ever been to the beach...

Annie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her shots. The
rescue is managing her heartworm treatment and will continue to do so
if she has not completed her treatment when she is adopted. If you are
interested in Annie or any of our dogs or puppies, please visit
www.northmecklenburganimalrescue.org to fill out an application. If you are
unable to adopt at this time but would still like to help the dogs,
please visit our site and see the "ways you can help" page. Thanks for
your interest in our "gang".

SPECIAL ADOPTION PROGRAMS
Here at NMAR we house many adult dogs as well as puppies. Since we are an all breed rescue we end up taking many harder to adopt dogs, either because of their breed, size or just that they don't have that "really cute" look everyone wants. Though we operate only on donations and adoption fees we have decided that we will give special incentives for some of the less adoptable dogs. Of course you still have to have an approved application, but we will put all or part of the adoption fees of some of these dogs toward training, fencing, or supplies such as a crate. There are about 20 dogs in our program that this incentive applies to so check them out on line or email us for more information.
Who We Are
