8/3/04 Nichole - now known as Annie - has gone to live with a couple in the Atlanta area who work out of their home office and have another rescue named Bart. When not keeping Linda company in the office, Annie will be riding around town with her as she inspects development projects and will also go on Linda's daily jogs.

Original Story 7/10/04 - This 2-1/2 year old sweetheart is looking for a new home. Nichole's owners couldn't care for her any longer so returned her to the shelter from which she was originally adopted as a pup.

Nichole is black with heavy tri (tan) markings, white feet, a white tip on her tail, and weighs about 45 pounds. She is completely up-to-date on shots, heartworm negative and spayed.

Love is what she is looking for and she will give it back tenfold. Happy and playful, she gets along great with other dogs. Cats peak her curiosity. She is a toy fanatic! It is also obvious Nichole has had some basic training -- she knows sit, down, shake and does a semi-sorta reliable stay. She is completely housebroken but tolerates being crated for short periods of time without a problem.

Note: Nicole was previously rescued by Cindy Alspaugh in North Carolina and has been moved to Georgia
