Ana

My story

Ana / Female / 5.5 years old / 65 lbs / Mixed Breed / Prefers To Be the Only Dog / No Cats / No Children Please / Fostered in Mississauga / From Mexico Meet Ana! Sweet Ana was found by our rescue partners struggling to survive on the streets while battling a severe skin infection. Sadly, people misunderstood her condition and deemed it contagious, leading to her being mistreated and shunned. Eventually, the local pound was called to take her away, but a kind person brought her to the shelter instead. Ana’s foster describes her as sweet and calm most of the time. She loves going on her walks and does well on a leash. She loves playing with her toys, as well as her canine foster sister. She is super sweet and a lot of fun when her goofy side comes out. She is very comfortable with people she knows and people she is meeting for the first time, however, she will bark when someone new enters her home. Ana gets two walks a day and enrichment activities. She walks well on the leash and is comfortable in the car, ready for her next adventure. Ana is selectively reactive to other dogs while on leash but is making great progress in this area. Now, she mostly ignores other dogs but may at times react. Her fosters have been working on this with her and she has certainly shown improvement. Ana is potty trained but may need an adjustment period when she moves to a new home. Ana is learning basic commands like paw, sit, and wait. Her adopter will need to continue basic training. Ana is not crate-trained and has free roam of the home. She has been left alone for 6 hours with no issues. She is not destructive in the home but she's very interested in food and will investigate anything left out. For her safety, all food needs to be stored out of reach. Ana sleeps through the night in her bed. Ana’s ideal family would be one that can include her in daily activities, whether it be a good walk or a good snuggle. She is flexible and adaptable in her needs; she just needs someone committed to whom she can show her love to. Ana is a testament to resilience and love. This sweet girl has a heart full of affection and a longing for a forever family. Interacting with humans and her furry companions brings her so much joy. Her moderate energy level makes her an ideal partner for long walks and cozy cuddle sessions. Ana shows her love by following you around, seeking belly rubs, and simply enjoying your company. Ana has shown prey drive toward cats and is looking for a cat-free home at this time. She has not been tested with children so we suggest that she is adopted into a child-free home. Ana has shown signs of protectiveness towards her foster parents and Ana will require proper and slow introductions when it comes to welcoming new people into the home as she can get overly excited.
