Ann - Hound Dog for Adoption in Westwood, New Jersey

MEET ANN!

Sweet Ann is an adorable 8-month-old, 35 lb girl who is ready to find her forever family!

Born on February 9, 2026, Ann is still a puppy, and her personality continues to blossom as she settles into her new foster home. After about two weeks with her foster, we're learning even more about this sweet girl!

Ann's affectionate side is really shining through. She loves to give kisses, cuddle up with her people, and sit in your lap. While she enjoys her independence, she also loves being close to the people she trusts.

One thing Ann REALLY loves is the company of another young dog! When her brother, Fred, visited this week, the two played continuously in the backyard for about 30 minutes. Ann would do wonderfully in a home with a young canine companion who could be her playmate and help keep her entertained.

Like any puppy, Ann is still learning and growing. She isn't a fan of the crate just yet and tries her hardest to get out, so she'll need patience and positive reinforcement as she learns that her crate can be a safe, comfortable place. She's also in her teething stage, so plenty of appropriate chew toys will be a must!

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike.
