Anita is a one-of-a-kind little athlete wrapped in an adorable 35-pound package. Just over a year old, this low-slung, medium-sized cutie has the most gorgeous markings, expressive ears, and a spring in her step…literally! Don’t let those short legs fool you; Anita can jump like a pro and loves to play, explore, and make new friends wherever she goes.
Anita absolutely adores people and dogs alike. She’s happiest when surrounded by her favorite humans or canine companions and thrives on attention and connection. Because she loves so deeply, she struggles with being left alone and experiences separation anxiety. When left by herself, she can panic and become overly excited when people return – sometimes jumping up or nipping in her enthusiasm.
She’s looking for a dog-experienced home that can provide patience, structure, and continued support from a trainer or behaviorist. No young children are recommended, as she’s still learning how to manage her big feelings in a calm way.
Outside of the shelter, Anita truly shines. On multiple off-site outings, she’s been completely appropriate and well-mannered with new people and dogs. She’s also spent time in a staff member’s home, where she was affectionate, snuggly, and relaxed – though she did show some anxiety when she thought her person was leaving.
Anita would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not and where she can have the steady companionship she craves. A confident, balanced dog friend would likely help ease her anxiety and show her that being alone isn’t so scary.
Anita has so much love to give and just needs the right person (or people) to help her feel safe, secure, and at home. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will make every day brighter, Anita Collar may be your perfect match.
