Anaïs is a 2-year-old Shepherd mix who makes it easy to fall for her. She's gentle, affectionate, and genuinely enjoys handling and attention, whether that's a scratch behind the ears or just some quiet company.

 

She walks beautifully on a leash and has shown calm, polite manners around other dogs. Lately, her playful side has started to come out too, complete with adorable play bows that make it clear she's ready to have some fun with the right family.

 

Sweet, easygoing, and full of potential, Anaïs is ready to find her home.

 

Come meet Anaïs at the Napa County Animal Shelter

    She sounds lovely. Do they know how she is with cats?

      Lori P.I was wondering the same. The shelter staff might know more about her experience with cats.
