Annie ended up at the Animal Care Centers of NYC after she was discovered tied to a fence in Brooklyn.
The shelter staff were devastated when they saw her condition. The four-year-old pup was thin and still producing milk, a sign she had been torn from her puppies.
After spending three months at the shelter, Annie was placed in a caring foster home.
Her foster mom showered her with affection and nurtured her. Annie started to heal and was ready to search for a forever home. She longed for someone who would give her the life she deserved.
Annie Meets Her Forever Family
A kind woman named Cole was dealing with a tough time after the passing of her senior dog, Alisson. She was heartbroken and missed her deeply.
Losing Alisson made Cole realize she wanted to rescue another dog and give it the life it deserved.
She and her boyfriend, Eric, began visiting shelters, looking specifically for Pit Bulls that needed a home.
When Cole came across Annie’s emotional story, she felt drawn to her and decided to meet her in person.
As soon as they met, Cole began crying and instantly knew Annie was the one.
Annie felt an immediate bond, too, and pressed herself into Cole as if asking her to be the one to love her forever.
Cole and Eric welcomed her into their lives and made her feel cherished. Since Annie was still thin, they started her on a special diet.
They treated her with the utmost care and spoiled her like royalty.
Annie could feel the love surrounding her and began to thrive. Her new parents watched as she grew more confident each day. Her sweet, gentle personality began to shine.
The Pup Gets The Life She Always Wanted
Annie was full of affection and loved snuggling with her new family. She comforted Cole during tough times and helped her through her grief.
Although she adored both her parents, her dad was her favorite. She always stayed close to him and followed him everywhere.
At bedtime, she patiently waited for him to lift her up like a baby and place her in bed.
She filled their home with happiness. Each time they returned, she eagerly ran to the door to welcome them.
“The best part of having Annie is when you get home she is so excited to see you and it is impossible not to fall in love with something that is that excited to see you at all time,” Cole told GeoBeats Animals.
Thanks to the couple’s devoted care, Annie reached a healthy weight. She gets along well with other dogs and loves relaxing in the sunshine.
Once a neglected mother left behind, Annie is now a joyful dog living her best life in her New York home.
She finally knows what true love feels like and has found her forever happiness.
