Dutch Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

Meet Annie (51112), a 6 year old spayed female Dutch Shepherd mix! Annie is intelligent, engaging and nose-driven. She can be a bit willful at times, so she would do best with a consistent and firm owner, preferably one with shepherd experience. Annie knows the commands "sit" and "down" and loves her chew toys. She needs a gentle hand, so she cannot go to a home with children under 10. If you already have a dog at home, they are required to come in and meet Annie to make sure they get along.
