Meet the HSHV Pet of the week at https://www.hshv.org/ 🎶 We're pleased to introduce our newest Humane Society of Huron Valley Pet of the Week: the one and only Annie! 🐾 Annie is basically the canine equivalent of a high-energy power pop anthem. She’s got speed, she’s got soul, and she’s definitely going to be stuck in your head (and heart) all day. ⚡️ She’s a young pup who is ready to learn all the hits, like "Sit," "Stay," and "Who’s a Good Girl?"... [especially if you have the snacks to back it up.] Sure, she’s got a lot of energy, but as we like to say: high-volume energy just means high-volume love! ❤️ If you have another dog at home, Annie would love a "sound check" to make sure they harmonize perfectly before she moves in. 🎸 If you’re ready for a life at 120 BPM, come meet Annie at the Humane Society of Huron Valley or call (734) 662-5585 to start the adoption process! All HSHV pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
