ANNABELLE

Annabelle is a 2 year old toy fox terrier mix that was surrendered to us by a lady that could no longer care for her on 3/17/07. One of our foster moms fell in love with her and has had her ever since. She is black, white and brown. She is current on vaccines, deworming, flea prevention and heartworm preventative. She was spayed on 3/20/07. She rides well in a car and loves it! She is needy and loves to sleep in bed with you. She is nippy (due to excitement) and when you get hom she will jump and be nippy - that is why we do not recommend that she goes to a family with young children. She is good with other dogs and cats. She weighs between 13-20 pounds, which is the norm for this breed. She had mange, allergies and asthma when we first got her but has recovered from all of this. She does have food agression which is common in this breed.

Due to a change in the foster mom's living situation she decided that it would be in Annabelle's best interest to be put up for adoption to find her new forever home that can give her the attention that she needs.

Adoption donation is $145.00

Want to know more about Smooth Fox Terriers? The Smooth Fox Terrier is a bold and energetic Terrier. They are enthusiastically playful especially with children. They are affectionate with the family and do not hide their jealousy. Cheerful and brave. They are ready to charge at all times. Scrappy and impulsive. This lovable dynamo is great at learning tricks. Amazing stories are told of the animal's loyalty and devotion. This dog enjoys being part of the family and will become destructive without enough exercise and attention. One of the most aggressive breeds, the Fox Terrier has a pronounced tendency to pick fights with other dogs, even large ones, and are not generally trustworthy with other pets. The Fox Terrier will also hunt and possibly kill other none K-9 animals, such as birds, if given the chance. If the Fox Terrier is properly socialized and introduced they can get along just fine with other dogs in the family. Keep this breed properly leashed or in a completely enclosed area, because the Fox Terrier likes to go off and explore. Fox Terriers like to bark and make good watchdogs, although the high-pitched barking can be annoying and may cause problems with neighbors. They may be too boisterous for elderly owners. They are willful and need to be firmly obedience trained from an early age. Behavior problems may include dominance challenges, especially with meek owners; guarding objects, places and their own food from the owner, and excessive barking. The Fox Terrier will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Given a small yard, these dogs will get enough exercise running around by themselves. But if you live in an apartment, you will need to take them for regular long walks or romps in the park. If it is possible, they will love to run free in a safe area. Keep this dog on a leash if there are small animals around. The urge for these dogs to hunt is strong and they are likely to take off after cats and small dogs. The short coat of the Smooth Fox Terrier is easy to groom. Brush with a firm bristle brush, and bathe or dry shampoo when necessary. This breed is an average shedder. Life expectency is about 15 or more years.
