It's Impossible to Meet Annie and Not Fall in Love, Powder Likes to Have His Belly Rubbed

Dog of the Week: Annie

If you're a big dog fan, it's impossible to meet Annie and not fall in love. Annie is 8-years-old and is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix.

Annie and her sister Shawnty (who is also with us) were scheduled to be euthanized at Polk County's shelter when Suncoast stepped in to rescue them. We're not sure how they got there, but if they could talk, we're sure they would have some stories to tell.  

They were emaciated, shy and had some minor illnesses when they first came to us, but they are healthy and are now ready to find their forever homes. Annie probably weighs 75-to-80 lbs. now and looks young for her age.

Of the two, Annie is a bit more outgoing.  She likes to be hugged and leans against you when you pet her, so she can be as close as possible to you. Both dogs are very calm, sweet, gentle and will make fantastic best friends.  This time around, we will make sure they find the wonderful homes that they deserve.

Cat of the Week: Powder

Powder is a beautiful 1-year-old old buff and white kitty. 

He came to Suncoast because his family moved and couldn't take him with them. In the shelter, Powder is a bit shy when you first meet him, but he warms up quickly. He's a lap cat who likes to hang out with you and have his belly rubbed, but he's also young enough to play and be fun too.

Powder is good with calm dogs, children and other cats, is neutered, microchipped and is up-to-date on his shots.
